So if I wanted to keep consuming beer, donuts and gasoline at the same rate, I would have to spend less elsewhere (not gonna happen) or incur debt (through a home equity loan or credit card debt - both bad).
I know for a fact that the baker is making less money these days. And the small breweries I fancy are making less money. Eventually something has got to give.

Too bad beer-nuts aren't a combination of two of those commodities. But if you could figure out how to make your own beer and donuts using wind power then you could cut out the gas.
I'm sure there is a "beans" joke in there somewhere.
