Charles and Cheryl Saul are reaping a timely windfall: an extra $500 a month thanks to
cheap gasoline.
The couple, both 56 and from Emmaus, Pennsylvania, drive a lot so filling the tank didn’t leave much room for fun. Now they’re splurging after years of staycations, minor-league baseball games and free concerts. In October, they visited Disney World, their priciest vacation in ages. They’re also planning to renovate, meaning more trips to Home Depot Inc.
“We’re finally starting to feel like we’re back in the middle class,” Cheryl Saul said.
