Regrettably, it appears that our finances get more and more slim with each new passing year.
- I don’t see much relief on the horizon as far as better pay goes.
So, wedo the best that we can. This pandemic hasn’t helped in the least. Our household budget took yet another hit as our income has been heavily reduced due to the economic contraction. I am working from my household in Heating and A/C. My wife is doing the same. However, my bonus and sales structure has been greatly diminished. This means that the people I was with and I have to do everything we can and a bit more to be sure we are spending rationally. In our area, Heating and A/C is a pretty big deal and it’s extravagant. The heat here is at least 7 months per year. But, the people I was with and I regularly get blasted with the heating in the warm season. That means all of us have to have nice Heating and A/C to get through the hot season with some semblance of comfort. This year, the people I was with and I are having to push ourselves a bit more to be sure that the people I was with and I are getting the most value from our Heating and A/C dollar. That has meant the household is a bit warmer while in the day than it ever has been. All of us have made the choice to keep a close eye on the thermostat since the people I was with and I are working from home. All of us let the temps in the household rise as it gets hotter outside. There is no way to get around using the Heating and A/C device because it is imperative to just getting by while in the heat season. However, the people I was with and I are supplementing the cool feeling with fans. Less Heating and A/C and more fans means more savings for us.
