There will be no single date that marks when regular folks can no longer afford gas/diesel. Those at the bottom of the economic ladder already have a hard time affording it, and eventually won't be able to afford it at all, while those at the top will likely be buying it without worry for the rest of your lifetime.
I wouldn't worry too much about mass die off, that's fantasy stuff. Be more worried about staying employed. When you become unemployed and are unable to find another job, that's when you can no longer afford gas. So develop as many employable skills as possible.

I suppose it is a good thing that the oil running out will bring the population problem to a head but it would have been nice to not be running out of oil and solving the population problem anyway before the environment is destroyed .alokin wrote:Isn't it a good thing that oil is running out? With our quest for growth and consumption we are destroying the planet and with it our souls. There has never been a higher rate of drug abuse, prescription or illegal, mental illnesses, broken families and unhappy people than now. Our pursuit of happiness did not succeed as it was driven by destruction. Man, I would like to be a bit younger than I am!
