I hate spending money too.. though for a different reason.
I just don't like to lose things, I save up my money and put it all in an account. I never buy anything unless its needed. I hate spending money, because even if its just a dollar.. I think I'm going to go broke if I spend anymore.
I go to the mall with like 300 dollars, and I spend about 5 of it. I'm like "I like that shirt, but I don't like it that much." The people I go shopping with go absolutally crazy when they watch me shop.. I never like anything enough to buy it... but tbh, I love all the things a see.. I just can't part with money.

Wow, you carry a lot of money when you go to the mall. The most I carry $20 dollers or more depending on what I plan to buy. I usually know the prices of the stuff I plan to buy before I go out.
I mostly save up money in the bank, too. Never know when stuff I need rise in price like a big bag of rice used to be 20 dollers a bag. Now it cost $30 a bag. Plus, I get a lot of my stuff as gifts, so I don't really need to buy a lot of things for myself. Though, I need to buy gifts back for people sometimes.

I personally think food prices are raising because of oil. Not that they have anything in common, besides the gas needed to ship them to store to store.. but gas prices are effecting everything now.. its just horrible.

A lot of electricity is also generated by burning gas or coal.

some one in this protest group on facebook (won't do much good any ways) stated that taxing the oil companies won't work in lowering the oil prices. I think he said the price of oil is high because of the decreasing value of the US dollar...or the dollar in general. Don't quote on me because im not a econ student

the price of oil is high because the sheikh's want to make more money before the newer energy sources fall into the main stream and the oil runs out,
but something i've heard commonly is the blame falling to china and india on there "rapidly growing economies"
is just something i have heard numerous times doens't make it right of course as if someone tells you clouds ar emade from jello 3,000 times doesn't make that true,
