In one case on Switch I know has made an economical decision not to travel to meet  guys  over 2 hours one way because of the cost involved?

Status: offline 		Yeah, I'm really frustrated.  Its not just the exonomy (lol) but my apparant inability to find a job.  I'm totally stuck.

It sucks.  I'm something of a road warrior, and love traveling to meet people.  It used to be my entertainment.  I'd drive hours just to have a cup of coffee.  (Once I drove 12 hours to deliver a 45 min presentation at a conference then turned right around and went home.)

I'm going stir crazy.  I haven't been anywhere in ages.  But, with gas upwards of 4.25 a gallon, and no income at the moment, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping my ass close to home for a while.

Status: offline 		I was planning on going to Thunder In the Mountains this year... but with gas up to $4.20 here in Arkansas, and nearing $5.00 a gallon in Denver...  I'm going to have to save a good bit more to make the trip. Maybe next year... 

And I'm between Dommes right now... so I'm looking for someone within a 30 mile radius.

Status: offline 		Yes, I have been affected.  Normally I would have flown someone in to meet me in a heartbeat… even if just for a nice date.  Nowadays I’m thinking that even if airfare isn’t prohibitive, if the “date” goes well and they have LTR potential, the cost of shipping all there stuff will be outrageous.

Auction it off where it lies.  Money is easier to transport.

Just sayin...

I think you may have been on the right track with your original word. Given the major role of rising oil prices in our finanical woes, I think "Exxonomy" might be the right word.

As a matter of fact, I did have my heart set on buying a spanking bench or at least a set of pillory stocks. And I'm still waiting for my tax rebate check! *grrrr*

Status: offline 		I actually just improved my income, just started a new job. Plus the new job is closer to my girl so I'm saving gas on trips to see her. Although I might be losing that commuting, my old job was super close to my house. It hasn't really kicked in yet(I'm still waiting for the first check) but it should be quite an improvement soon.

Status: offline 		i rarely ever do anything lifestyle oriented with groups so it hasn't really effected me in that way however, it has effected me with finding and meeting new girls whether they are potentials or litterally just friend materials, i'm bored to death these days but, i've grown into this conservative person...i use to go to a million concerts, lots of movies, and eat out all of the time at my favorite resturaunts with the economy the way it is i dont really dare to do hardly any of that stuff anymore.

yes...
 Our's became a LDR several years ago.  The idea was to plan trips back and forth from Az to Ga and visa-versa as often as possible.   "possible" has redefined itself due to the exxconomy, planefares, gas, income levels....ACCKkkkk
    
now I'm depressed

Status: offline 		One of the benefits of my version of BDSM...........being more M/s oriented rather than fetish, I don't need to spend money on expensive items. Also, not really having any interest in joining any sort of group or attending fetish events,  I don't have to travel.

So no, the economy has not affected this facet of my life.
