Saving money with less energy overall
These afternoons my budget is not bendy.
Prior to this I was able to live pretty freely with my salaried position.
I had free rent, and so I was able to spend all of my money on repaying student loans and pursuing some of my current hobbies. However, all good things must come to an end. These afternoons I’m living on my own and I have a lot of expenses to consider each month – my heating and cooling is absolutely one of them. I’m staying in a small home where I have to cover all of the energy bills on my own, so one of my biggest passion these afternoons is finding current innovative ways to cut down on utility bills. Periodically this means living a pretty simple life, but genuinely I don’t miss all of the perks that I used to spend on, however right now I’m focused on lowering my utility bills as much as possible. I spend a lot of time alone in the dark. I also tend to keep the windows open so that I don’t have to use the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system quite so often. I’ll be honest, it’s actually tepid out. There are some afternoons that opening the windows feels like taking a plunge into the tepid humid depths of Hell. However it’s still better than my outdated living circumstances were. Even though I can’t run the A/C continually afternoon and night like I used to, I’m still feeling a lot better. Maybe it’s due to the fresh air that I’m letting in instead of running my a/c.
