After reading that the heating in my flat costs $3 an hour to run, I went to the thrift store and bought some winter clothes! Now I am under a blanket with my warm clothes on all to avoid running the electric heating in my flat.
How sad is that, that we need to resort to this way of living because we can’t afford to run the heating a bit.
Actually, a bit is all I am running it right now. I run it for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening and that is all I can allow myself right now until I get a flatmate. Once I have my HVAC pro flatmate in two weeks I can run the heat a bit more and not have to starve myself because I have no money for food. I’ll make it through this winter but I need my cryptos to really take off by next summer so I can have some money for cooling then. I think I will reward myself on this cold day with a couple grilled cheese sandwiches. I just need to run to two local businesses first to get the bread and the cheese. I may buy them both at the same local business but it depends on the cost of the cheese. This store is pricey as it has a big air conditioned store that they are trying to keep cool for the produce they sell. The other store is a normal store and doesn’t keep the place ice cold, so the food is a bit cheaper.
