    Default Electric bill going down

    Well it's slowly going down. It's down another $18 from last month. We still haven't got it below $100 but there's always next month.
    It went from $124 to $106.

    Good for you! We got our bill down, but once the ac starting running there was no holding it back. Hate to think what it would be if we were using the dryer!

    I think that's great! $18 is better in your pocket than the electric companies.

    My electric bill is really weird. Lat month it was 177.00 for May. The only credit was the previous months bill. The bill I just got was for 38.00 with 134.00 dollars in credits. I'm not complaining mind you but it's weird that I am getting that much credit. It's lilke I'm getting a reward for using electric or something. Yeah right!!!! It's read every month not estimated so I knowit isn't that and I'm not going to ask them. I didn't fall off the turnip truck last night lol

    Lucky lucky you!! I will gladly trade you!

    This month ours was higher than it has ever been, by $50!! We had an ice storm during the winter that caused millions of dollars of damage to the area so we're now paying for that I guess. Which reminds me I should start the stockpile challenge.

    "President Barack Obama wasn't kidding during his campaign when he said, "Under my plan of cap and trade, your electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket." We're talking 90 percent.
    Read the whole article here. This was actually said. Watched it that night. Link below

    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
