I cant for the life of me understand why some peoples bills are so high. But some bills are high for a reason, like my parents.I paid 350$ for 2500 sq ft. My bill says it’s 322% higher than similar nearby homes. Do these power meters need an electrician to install?
sounds like you should invest in a sense monitorI cant for the life of me understand why some peoples bills are so high. But some bills are high for a reason, like my parents.
My parents house is somewhere between 2500 and 3k sq/ft and they pay ~520 a month. But my mom is a kook and her and my pops, do collectively, dumb shit. She has dedicated herself to raising chickens in her retirement. Thinking "Ill save some money on these expensive ass eggs!" and then puts a heating coil out there, a motion sensor camera for foxes, some kind of heat lamp, etc. Then, when we updated the kitchen - she wanted the fancy monogram shit with a paneled fridge. What did we do with the Fridge they got a couple years ago? It replaced the one in the basement. What did we do with the one in the basement? Moved it to the screened in back porch. There is enough beer between the basement and back porch, that if I was a teenager still living there, it would take me a week to go through all of it. But the fact is, thats three fucking refrigerators running that dont need to be. Never mind the two fake fire places they have that are essentially a TV Screen built onto an electric Heater. The one in the spare bedroom gets used as a way to dry off after playing in the lake.
The funniest part that makes me feel like a kook? When I come stay the night, they dont want the A/C down too low because it'll raise the power bill. You fucking boomers, man.

Different reasons but stupid shit on that level is part of why I rarely associate with my parents. Because we just fight when I point out bullshit.I cant for the life of me understand why some peoples bills are so high. But some bills are high for a reason, like my parents.

this is for my nashville .12c kwhI dont run gas or ac at all which is why my high power bill makes no sense. I do run the fan from the hvac a lot , is that a big power guzzle?
So, kind of a blog update, but finally moved into my new house.
The move went well, had some friends from work help which was nice. Still waiting on the mortgage company to convert the loan from construction to mortgage but that's on them since i reached to confirm there wasn't anything I had to do. Only irritation so far has been trying to get the internet hooked up. Xfinity is supposed to be in the area, but tech they sent out Thursday said he couldn't find any cables on the street to hook to. Went to the Xfinity storefront and they showed that according to their site I should be ok for access so now I have to wait for a 'special' tech to come out to try and hook it up. Dunno when though, other than I'm supposed to get a text to schedule the job. Gonna give them till Tuesday then I'll call to light a fire under them.
Overall, I am happy to finally be in but there is just a bit of melancholy to it. i always thought that I would be married by the time I got into my first house, but that just hasn't happened yet. 42 years old and I am in my first small starter home, but that's all i can afford on one wage. i know its been on me because i haven't been looking as hard as I should have in the past.
I've been trying the online dating but haven't gotten any bites, of course I've been selective myself since I'm trying to avoid the obvious red flags. its just kinda come into focus now that I'm finally in the home and wishing I had someone to share it with. But I guess its the motivation I need to start looking harder.
Congrats. I think having a stable home will help you be more confident. It's certainly more attractive to the type of women you'd actually want.
FTFY. I think. I mean, you do you.Gotta find a childlesswidowerwidow or something.
So outside of that other stuff, what do you consider a starter home? Whats the price range of that? What area are you in (state)?So, kind of a blog update, but finally moved into my new house.

problem in that age group is its either divorced messes with a bunch of kids and baggage or psychos. Gotta find a childless widower or something.
