Shaking my head

Well I am shaking my head again around here and I have unplugged some things that are and were sucking on the power for the household here.  With some folks they do not unplug the chargers for laptops and their phones at all and can not understand why their power bills are 200 dollars a month totally.  It does not help with the hot water heater that some have since they have their gas shut off totally in the summer time at their place.  I have always never understood that part of things at all here with what some people do here in the area and that is one of the things I do not get.  With that being said here the one gal that use to come over all of the time here use to unplug her phone with the charger still in the outlet and I finally said something to her about it a year ago and asked her if she was not using it then why have it still plugged into the wall outlet and she was wasting money totally.  But this is also the same person that asked me how to cut down on the bills and said that she could not do the hints that I gave her to cut the power bill down also for her place along with other bills that were coming in her place at all.  I shook my head and told her that things were not going to go her way in my place totally and do not even try on some things.  Since the gal could not get it thru her head that here I am hanging laundry to dry in the household at all and she was using the dryer like it was no big huge deal the power bill went from 50 dollars to 80 dollars right quick in the Winter time here.  So now that the one gal is not doing laundry here anymore at all the water bill along with the power bill will go down on that part and she is not flushing the toilet all of the time also here while we are at it all also.  Now the real shock to my Husband should come with the next water bill coming in by at least next month or the month after here also.  With one week of her not coming over the bill dropped by 15 dollars totally and I started laughing.  Now at this point in time I am not getting cut down for what I buy for the household that is on the cheap side also here.  This is why I got the 88 cent bottles of dish soap here for the household and have switched other things over also while I have been at it that is not a budget breaker at all for cleaning and other things.  When some told me when I got back after some were not here in the household that he was mopping the floor so the kitchen did not smell at all I knew in how bad some houses were totally and she was not telling the whole truth on what was going on at her place at the time also it amazed me in what some did for me also.  When I came home to a trashed basement here I knew that some were totally lazy and I had to pick up the mess and get laundry done.  So now nothing shocks me in what others will not do here and I did not have a white towel to save my own toush untill they dried on the lines.  Even my one aunt that I do not mind being around was amazed that I was hanging my towels on hangers in the room that she took over at my grandmothers house.  So now at this point in time here there are ways of doing things on the cheap side and still have a clean household also.  Ok so I try to bag and tag one room at a time here still to this day and sometimes it works other times you have to walk away and come back to it with a different mind frame also.  This is what got to some people also about me here is that I do what I can when I can and move on in the household here.  Also I try to do things as cheap as possible anyway here and that is what some did not get also when they all came over to the place.  So now at this point I am wandering in how low alot of the bills will go without some here and now I get to tell some I told ya so also here for the place.  That maybe the reason in why some are scared of what I can do and others do not have a clue at all in what to do since her and her husband never gave it much thought about of ok what if.  So now I can say I thought about the what if here and made changes totally about it.  Then this way I do not nor my Husband does not have to worry about if the other passes away here at all.  Since some were right on some things here it will get done without much thinking at all and go from there.  I laughed about it when my sister told me in what our Mother did and now I will do just because I do not want Mom haunting me at all now.  That is what some got the kick out of anyway and knew I was right on it also.
