Thank you for the encouragement! Some days are harder than others! And the reminders are what keep us all going. I needed that! I have only been on the platform for a short time. But, the love and drive everyone has and the community surrounding it all is very comforting. We are all in this together. We all keep each other going! I appreciate you! I appreciate everyone on here! Excited to keep the momentum going! Thank you!❤️

Precisely.
But not just electric companies.
Our mortgage payment was raised $300/month back in November...and we DID NOT do flexible rate. So everything is just crazy.
In our area we have to grocery store hop. 1 store is lower on eggs and milk. Another store is lower on "good quality" meat prices. Another store is lower on produce. Then again another store is lower on dry goods. It's worth it in the long run to save...but still not ideal.
Gas prices have gone down slightly.
But, homeschooling our daughter and i started working full time to scrape by because my husband has been laid off since before Thanksgiving....and told he is "on call" and cannot collect unemployment.
The loop holes these companies find
are hurting people and making it impossible for us all to stay above water. I have been ready for this to end. I know it takes time to fix the corruption but it's getting harder and harder to be patient and "Trust the plan"

My husband and are having the same problem. Summer months we are bearly paying $60 a month. December our bill was about $140. January our bill went up to $360. We thought, "oh well...it was a definatly colder. I guess the fireplace wasn't helping to cut down the electric heat as much as we thought."
Just got new bill for $498. After intentionally cutting down usage. Burning wood for living room and kitchen only because we turned off the electric heat in there. Closed off the unused area of our house, turned off the breaker to that area of the house. Only using electric heat in the bedrooms at night. Plastic on all windows. Window quilts over that.... for the last month.
We have been on the phone quite a few times because of this, getting the run around. And they are doing NOTHING about it.
