RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
- Keep it clean and SFW

The luxeries like housing, electricity, dentist
Electricity has been noticeably going up for me as well and its quite honestly insane. I live in a single-wide trailer with 1 other adult, we're not running heat or AC right now because its spring, we have been actively trying to conserve energy because of how high the bills are so we're making sure to turn stuff off, I unplugged my deep freezer and consolidated to just the fridge, I only do full loads of laundry, with cold water, etc. My electric bill is still over $300!
I feel like we're living like cavemen and we're still somehow using $3000+ of electric, I don't get it.
