++ The Oil Industry - The Economy.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the big bail out that didn’t happen early in the week, and that the Senate passed on Weds. night.
Did you notice what oil prices did during this? Many times the price plunged - in fact Weds. it was less than $100 / barrel. We’ll talk some over the next few weeks about why it did this.
The first big push on oil of course is demand from consumers. The reason that oil fell (or I should say one of the reasons) is that a weak economy usually means less driving. Consumers usually cut back during tough times, and when enough consumers start to cut back then businesses start to cut back.
So one of the reasons why the price drop was because fear of the economy getting worse. We’ll talk some about what the dollar had to do with it next week.
Saving you Money
Exercising can save you money and here are four reasons why - we’ll go into some things that will help you get started on an exercise program in the next few weeks.
1. When you’re healthy - you’re health costs will go down.
This one is a no brainer.
2. Being healthy means less sick days at work.
3. When you’re healthy you’ll feel like doing more (not only at work but with your family and friends as well). Doing better at your job is always a good thing and may even get you a raise.
4. If you’re working on getting / staying healthy then you’ll eat out less and have healthy meals at home more.
