My husband retired a year ago and I retired last May. He drives a 1999 F150 truck because he was in construction. It costs him $70 now to fill it only half full. Fortunately, I drive a hybrid Camry. Gas prices are a definite issue. Hubby retired but is doing consulting work so he does do more driving than I do.
Our big issue is traveling to visit kids who live 700-900 miles away. We have four grandkids, three under 18 months so travel for the families is hard, and we go visit. That's concerning to me.
