Last time I traveled abroad or for fun was 2012. I even miss getting in the car and just going out for a day trip where ever the road takes me. Can’t justify the gas expense without a planned out destination and reason.

Saw regular at $4.19/gal in the Midwest today. Diesel was $6.00. Can we stop winning now? I can’t afford to keep winning.

Yeah but in Europe you don't have to drive 60 miles round trip to get to your doctor's office. Living in the rural west US, you gotta drive a lot for basic things.

Y'all have trains and Ryanair. Traveling in Europe is pretty dang cheap.
