How do higher gas prices affect you?

Gasoline is officially more expensive than it has ever been. Wages are stagnant. Houses are worth less. It costs more to heat our homes, feed our families, and pay our medical bills.

How are you coping? What are you doing differently, and what are you doing without?

The Journal wants to talk to individuals and families about their day to day costs, the challenge of making ends meet, and what happens when they no longer do.

If you're willing to be interviewed for a story on coping with higher costs during this economic slowdown, e-mail The Journal at pjnews@projo.com. Please put "high costs" in the subject line, and include a phone number and a good time to call.
