Trying to save money, zone controlled heating
My husband is finally seeing the light.
By that I mean, he’s finally noticed the “declined” option when you don’t have enough money in your checking account and decided he needs to have more financial responsibility.
You see, this butthead grew up in a pretty privileged family, although he doesn’t seem to realize it. He absolutely thinks that he knows what it’s like to be poor, however in reality, he has no money sense whatsoever. That’s why I’m consistently up his butt, trying to deter him from useless spending when my wonderful friend and I have unpaid bills. Right now, I’m working extra difficult to convince him of the importance of energy efficiency in our home. For the past various years, he’s lived as though energy is a free commodity, infinite and ready to be pumped into his A/C component without repercussion. It’s as if he doesn’t remember our sky high energy bills each month, the cost of having our A/C component professionally tested, or the pending expense of a brand new air conditioner system in the next few years. But with each astronomically high electric bill, he’s finally starting to understand. That’s why I’m at least trying to convince him that my wonderful friend and I should consider zone controlled heating and cooling when the time for a new A/C system comes. I’ve been telling him for 6 months or so about the several benefits of zone controlled temperature systems. I figure, if he has to have abundant air conditioner at home, my wonderful friend and I can at least contain the cool air to one certain room. That way, he can still have a cool and dry space in the condo without racking up the highest unaffordable energy bill in the county again.
