3. Pain at the pump.

There is a bigger pain most haven't become aware of.

With stock markets around the world tumbling, any shares you hold directly or indirectly via your retirement plans, are sliding down in value.

Estimated loss in my Australian Super fund is up over AU $10K.

If you translate to gallons, avg cost will be around $5/gallon.

Trump: if it goes up, it goes up.
