The problem is, of course, that I don't play the lottery! I don't have money to throw away on horrible odds. This is one of the reasons why the rich continue to get rich, and the rest of us just manage.
I need to be rich. I don't need money for ME. I need money because I have things to do to help some people who need it more than I do! I managed to get through Christmas and was just thinking that I could enjoy a month with just a little bit more than before, but noooo....
My December electric bill was $84. I was shocked at how reasonable it was. Well! This month's bill is $227! Yes, I had extra people in the house for part of the bill's time period, but I was also gone during some of that time. Only the clothes dryer, refrigerator, and baseboard heat in the garage room are electric. The other energy-eaters--furnace, stove, and water heater--are gas...and the gas bill is only $111 for the same period. Don't quite know what the difference is. It hasn't been a particularly cold period, and I haven't had controls set up any higher. Ugh! Thus, almost $350 of my meager income goes for creature comforts this month. I can handle it. I just don't like it very much!
