I have to admit that I don’t know all that much about the financial world. I know NOTHING about stocks and oil prices and economic things like that. But what I do know is that some of the outer banks here in Australia are starting to feel the economic pinch because of what is happening in the US and other places around the world. Prices are rising so quickly that I’m concerned that we are going to have trouble affording everyday items like groceries and other necessities.
