I’m pretty gleeful with my last power bill I just got for $155 for the two month billing period.
Last year at this time I got a whopping $600 power bill for my little flat for two months.
Maybe this doesn’t sound like a lot in the States, but over here in Europe it was a pressing bill. Normally I was having power bills of about $60 a month during the high months, but that all changed with the war and troubles with electricity across the globe. I know they fixed it somehow because the bills are much lower. Some local businesses had to shut down their companies because their heating and cooling bills were too high to spend my savings and their power ended up getting shut down, i am blessed because now I have a roommate and she cut my living expenses in half. Now I can live for about $1000, which includes running the central Heating and Air Conditioning system when I am not using my fireplace to stay sizzling in the wintertime. I cook most of my meals at house and can live off of about $200 a month for food if I don’t go silly buying a lot of fish or other costly meats. The local company near me where I shop has a great refrigeration system and they keep the locale air conditioned easily well while still keeping their prices fairly low. I work online for a couple hours a day and play rock n roll on the weekends, and these two income streams seem to be enough to cover all my utility bills. Thank you to my Heating and Air Conditioning system for laboring so well too!
