A new study shows that more than 30% of households in Michigan are going without necessities like food and medicine in order to pay the utility bills.
Researchers at lendingtree.com looked at a survey from the U.S. Census Bureau. They found that just over 21% of household in Michigan were unable to pay at least part of one energy bill in the past 12 months. More than 20% of households kept their home at a temperature that felt unsafe or unhealthy due to the high cost of utilities.
News 8 spoke with Lending Tree’s chief credit analyst about some of the ways people have been getting by during this time.
“It just has a ripple effect across everything, because it’s not like you can just stop paying your utility bill, like you would cancel your Spotify or Netflix subscription. What people really need to do is they need to revisit that budget that they have,” Matt Schulz said. “Because if you haven’t looked at that in the last six or nine months, chances are, a lot of the assumptions that you made about what things are going to cost are now blown out of the water, because prices of things have risen so quickly.”
Schulz said it’s important if you’re struggling to take some sort of actions to help yourself and your family’s finances because inflation issues could end up getting worse.
You voted for it and now you own it
Am I supposed to have sympathy? None here. By their votes they say they love Democrat policies that are creating they problems — so tough
“A new study shows that more than 30% of households in Michigan are going without necessities like food and medicine in order to pay the utility bills.”
Hope they are all democrats.
That isn’t likely to improve. They were probably cheated . Whatever.
Color me unconcerned. They arent hurting that bad if they continue to vote for the same people that created this mess
That is what happens when one votes Democrat. Enjoy!
It’s ok, they voted Dem so they must be happy.
Elections have consequences, even shady ones. You brought it on yourselves, you ‘RATS.

I’m in a rotten state called Michigan (as well as in the state of depression.)
49% of Michigan people believe it will snow a lot this winter.
48% do not.
As long as Governor Cruella is got enough to buy her groceries, everything is good.

My heating oil bill doubled in Maryland. I can’t believe what is happening
Any ability to burn wood? According to Eurocrats it’s considered “carbon neutral”, although Greta is campaigning to change that.
As Steve Bannon said, “the people don’t hurt enough” to vote for change. So, I don’t feel sorry for them. Let them whine and cry. Until they do something to change the status quo, they’ll just eat more of the sh*t sandwich they’re served by the Dems.
What do the remaining 3% predict for this winter’s weather?
