Good Morning Lantus Land!!! 
Yesterday's Condo
Atlas was quite the spunky one last night...climbing cat trees and trying to climb the curtains too! Gary sat on the floor in awe of the mighty orange cat that normally sleeps. :lol:
Well the winter is already upon us here in northern Ohio. :shock: No it has not started snowing, that is still a few months away, but it is time to sign up for budget billing for heating the house. I normally don't, because I am then less frugal, but this winter I need my expenses to be more predictable.
I still can't seem to discern my electic bill? The NOPEC delivery charges are 115% more than my actual usage? It costs me more to have the electricity delivered...than the amount I actually use. confused_cat Honestly it is charges like that, that have me contemplating how to get off the grid as it no longer pays to conserve energy. (and I'm not in a rural area of Ohio).
And they are messing around with our water and sewer bills too. We have already been warned water is slated to go up 87% in the next few years and sewer up an additional 40%, plus they (sewer) wants to add on another "fee" to help pay the EPA off. They want to add the "fee" so everyone has to pay a set amount. When I lived in a HOA we had another name for stuff like that!
Sorry guys for getting so far off topic this morning...it is September for me and budget evaluation time for the third quarter and setting the budget for the fourth quarter. It is very frustrating trying to figure out how I am going to cover all my personal bills and all the government fee's & taxes for my business. Plus hire at least one person for the holiday season either as an employee or a subcontractor.
