Every time the power bill comes I have a bit of a meltdown. I make just enough money to live, and when that power bill comes every other month, it raises my expenses higher than what I make.

Naturally in winter, your heat will go up. I've been roughing it out and not raising the temperature at all. But I got my power bill today, and it was over $600! I don't understand how it could possibly be so high. I don't turn any lights on unless absolutely needed.

I'm extra freaking out right now. The combination of my mortgage and my power bill costs more than what I make in a month. And on top of that I still have to pay my car loan AND insurance. House insurance, my cell phone, water bill this month. And that's just the bills. I still need to eat and feed the animals. I'm going to have to stop going to hockey because I can't afford gas.

I'm seriously starting to think I'm going to have to move back in with my parents. And the super awesome thing with that is I can't even afford to. I'd have to pay for the moving truck, gas to go across three provinces, pay to get my license changed again. Not to mention the time in between when I would be jobless
