Cutting more money out
Well I know that I have been trying to cut the money out of the bills here as of late. Alot of it has to do with myself just waiting here during the week. There are on peek hours and off peek hours for everything with the bills. I know here in NY State the power bills with the peek hours run in May thru October here for the main bulk of it all. It goes from 8am to 8 pm during the week days here. This is why I turn off alot of things during the day here and do not run hardly anything at all. The dryer is mainly out for the laundry here in my place also unless I need a quick load done for my Husband. This is where some folks get messed up in the neighborhood also since some of us hardly use the dryer and have maybe 5 loads of laundry once a week here or once every 2 weeks when it is all said and done. Also we do full loads of laundry for the households normally here with alot of folks in where I am at. There are some that have 2-3 loads a day and it is the smaller loads like 3-5 pieces of laundry per load. That is a waste in my eyes here totally unless you have a portable washer in the place. So with that being said here get full loads for the washer to waste less power and water for the budget here totally. Another thing is that I turn off everything here in the place during the day here and when I say turn off I mean turn off by the power strips that are hooked to things like the computer, modem, router, and the 2 T.V.'s in the household. Now at this time of the year yes I run the 3 window units here for the household and the bill is still lower than some folks on the block here. This is why I hang more laundry in the summer months here for the household totally along with turning off things. I know last year I had asked one person how much their power bill was and he blew gaskets totally. All I could do was shake my head and say that my power bill was a quarter of what theirs was at the time in the worst months. That is part of the reason in why the garden did not do so well besides being the first year for it all. Now at this point since there has been more rain and somewhat cooler outside this year the garden took off like a rocket. I still have to water at times here for the garden at this time and it gets me out of the house also. So now that is what agitates some people here to this day and I do take care of that part here for my own yard. When others do not water here and start blaming me for things that is fine here since I will not waste money on other folks that could care less in what they have in their yard. Yes I had my Husband plant 3 bushes so far this year in the front and back yard so far. There is a rose bush that I want planted and will take care of that part also here today of course. I have also put the fence around the front yard bushes since some do not care at all in what their dogs will do in other yards. The one dog I was not worried about since he does not get close enough to the bush and has a smaller blatter totally compared to other big dogs. Ok so the poor thing is a small dog with big dog syndrome and tell me of any little dog that does not have that problem at all at this time please here. So anyway some things will not change at all with some people here and that is what makes the world go around. Some of us are trying to get cheaper and some just spend money like it is water and I have found that everywhere at this point. I will say also there are times where I throw up my hands some days here on what I try to do. Then there are times where I do and could care less about what is going down other than what is going on in myown household. Since I can care less alot of the time here and will try to be cheaper than snot on everything that comes into the household so there is money there for other things that are needed or wanted here down the road. That is part of what bothers some people on the block about alot of us that are trying to be tight wads here in this point in time in the economy. All I can say is do what you feel is best for your household and go from there. Let others know in what you are trying to do also and inlist help while you are at it.
