So what next

I got my oil bill today $590. What's next, gas is going up to, food going up. It really makes you wonder if it's ever going to get better. I can remember in 2000 when I bought this house and filled the tank for the first time it was only $100. I could get oil for .99 a gallon. Being in the construction business I like to provide tips for my readers. But what tips can you give for the cost of living going up everyday. So please let me know what tips you have.
