Should I Get LPG?
Troy : I spent over $200 on gasoline this month.
Reese : Gosh! That’s too much! Where have you been wandering around?
Troy : Nowhere! Same old schedule travelling from office to home. Maybe an odd trip.
Reese : You gotta find a solution! You’ll be spending all your money on fuel.
Troy : Yeah! I’ve been thinking about it. Maybe I should get a LPG kit installed.
Reese : Yeah! You could... It would save you some money.
Can’t Go on the Trip.
Reese : I just saw the groceries list, Reese. Why’re you buying enough for the entire month?
Peyton : We always do that. Don’t we? It saves us money.
Reese : Yeah, but aren’t we going on a week-long trip this month? All this food is going to be wasted.
Peyton : Well Reese… I hate to break it to you dear.
Reese : Break what? What’s going on?
Peyton : We can’t go on the trip. I just got a mailer from the holiday planners. They’ve raised their prices and we can’t afford it anymore.
Reese : What? No way! This is crazy. It was $1,500 just last week!
Peyton : Well, now it’s $1,800. Let’s wait till next month.
Let’s Start a Carpool!
Peyton : Hey, Troy! How are you doing?
Troy : Good. You tell me?
Peyton : Well buddy... we live in the neighborhood, and our offices are right nearby, so I was thinking of something...
Troy : Yeah? Tell me.
Peyton : You know about the gas prices. They’re going up all the time. I think we should start a carpool. Sometimes we take my car, and sometimes yours.
Troy : Hey! That’s a great idea! And it’s environment friendly too. Let’s start from tomorrow.
Peyton : Fantastic!
Need A Better Job.
Troy : I think I’m going to get a new job.
Bruce : Why? What’s wrong with this job?
Troy : I love this job. Being an artist is my calling, but I can’t afford it anymore because it’s not paying my bills.
Bruce : Oh! I am sorry to hear that buddy, but I know what you mean. What are you planning to do?
Troy : I am a trained plumber. Going to take that up again. It pays better.
Bruce : Good luck pal.
