Winter heating bills are going to shock a lot of people.
I just got my Feb natural gas bill for my small 2-bdr apartment — $124. Last Feb it was $84. That is a HEFTY increase and the highest it has ever been in the 12 years I have lived here. Usually, the highest winter heating bills have been in the $65 range.
Along with the rent increase, cable increase, Medicare part B increase, etc., any Social Security COLA gets eaten up quickly.
Cable if it’s optional for you is something to cut so to speak.
Apt. gas bill way up....
Me, too. Have an apt. Retired. We’re the poor relations on FR. Inflation destroying our financial lives is not a matter of abstract theory to us.
I paid for January What I paid in August. I ran the ac non stop in august, never fired the heater up.
