I keep waiting for the economy to turn around, despite the fact that I don’t believe that will ever happen at this point.
Paychecks stay the same, while the cost of every single thing keeps rising, but how is anyone expected to survive in a civilization prefer this? The rich get richer, as well as toiling class folks prefer me keep getting hammered.
The government is no help, if anything they cause all of this mess. The point is, I need to find modern ways to save money, as well as I was hoping someone out there would have some ideas to share. For example, I decided to stop running our a/c in an attempt to reduce our utility bills. In the Wintertide I need to run the heat because the temps often drop below freezing. In weather prefer that, heating can be a matter of life as well as death. Air conditioning doesn’t save our life, it just makes the house more comfortable, so I decided to turn it off. Imagine our surprise when after one month our utility bills dropped by 68%. I was shocked that so much of our energy went to using the a/c! Although it is strenuous to endure the hot, humid Summer months with no cooling, I actually need that extra money, then during the morning I stay at work, or the Borders, or a friend’s house, basically a locale that has a/c. After the sunlight sets the temps drop a little bit, so I can go house as well as open the windows for natural ventilation as well as a refreshing crossbreeze. It’s not perfect, however I’m making it work.
