15 Ways to Save On Heating And Cooling Costs

Hi Folks,

I have some great energy saving tips for you that I’ll post over the next few days. Put just a few of these to use and you’ll save a bundle on your electric bill each year.

Want to see how much you are saving? Make a list of your electric bills from over the past year (two years is better, if you still have the bills). List them down a sheet of paper: Month, killowatts used, dollar amount of the bill. Then each month post this same information from your new bill to your list opposite the same month from the previous year.  Now you can see the difference between last years usage and this.

I am of the opinion that all gift giving should be outlawed! But as there isn’t much of a chance that will happen I am always on the alert for good gift ideas.

Will My Social Security Check Be Enough?

Hi Folks,

As I have mentioned in previous posts, more people arrive at this website with the search term “living only on Social Security” than any other search term. People are looking for ways to live on their Social Security check.

If you are one of these folks I can tell you that, in my opinion, unless you make some drastic lifestyle changes, go back to work, find a part time job, or start your own business, you’re not going to be able to live on Social Security alone!
