I Got My Last Electric Bill A Few Days Ago & It Was $207, Haven’t Had A Bill This High Since 2011 When We Had A Record-Setting Heat Wave…

I got a letter the very next day from the electric company, was expecting it to be an apology but nope, just telling me that they raised the rates and that the average bill would only be a little more than $2. Bull crap, every time they say the averages my bill is at least 3 times more than that. And I don’t keep the house ice cold either.

In my previous home the bill was always $300-$400/month, in summer, and that was at least 7-years ago. I dread to think what it would be today.

@Carissimi did you downsize quite a bit? I don’t blame anyone who can for doing that.

Carissimi · F

Yes. I downsized considerably. My previous home was my marital home. @cherokeepatti

@Carissimi tiny homes look even more appealing today. If they are designed right and have enough storage space they are much easier to heat and cool. Unlike mobile homes which are made with flimsy materials a tiny home would not lose much energy.

I couldn’t live in a tiny home. I don’t have enough space as it is, but at least I can work out at home. I need at least enough space to work out, and have my weights and exercise equipment. You can’t do that in a tiny home. Some look really nice though. @cherokeepatti

@Carissimi I could do it, but would need a good storage shed out back or a cargo container to put extra things in for when I need them later.
