$31 electric bill this time of year? My last 4 have averaged over $200/mo. Looking forward to May-Oct where I average $40-something/mo. I may have a couple months where my total expenses go below $1000 even with my mortgage.
My heat is natural gas, which was $78 in February. I have had a persistent cough so the thermostat was at 75 degrees whenever I was home. Even though we had a cold winter, winters just aren't that cold down here. This time of year the electric just covers lights, refrigerator, computer, TV, and so on.
Now last July my electric bill was $127 due to the air conditioning during many consecutive days over 100 degrees or at least very hot. All 11 other months in the last 12 were under $100 so my average electric bill for the whole year is $63/month.
Your expenses are wonderfully low, Aaron!! You spend much less than I do overall. I think you should be crowned the King of LBYM.
