Here we are on the last day of 2010.  (Where does the time go?)

And I just saw something that breaks my heart.  I read a list from dealnews that predicts the top 20 things that will be more expensive in 2011... 

... Chocolate was in the number two spot!

Here’s a list of the top ten items that will most likely rise in price in 2011, according to the website...

#1  Car insurance.  And I have a 16 year old going for his driver's license…
 
#2  Chocolate.  Ouch.  This hurts, but it won’t stop me 🙂 .  Cocoa prices are at a 30-year high and demand is still growing.

#3  VoIP services.  Higher prices and extra fees.

#4  Airfare.   Airlines and added fees – the sky’s the limit!

#5  Cars.  Deals may be a thing of the past.  Sales are up, and so will prices.

#6  Nintendo 3DS.   New is never cheap.  

#7  Health Insurance.  Yikes.

#8  Breakfast.  I guess it all boils down to grain going up. 

#9  Coffee.  Bummer.

#10  Music.  Digital music prices not just 99 cents anymore.

I dare not continue.  I mean, after learning the future of chocolate and coffee, can my heart really take any more?
