[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dad claimed that their water bill went down 1/3 when I left the house. We were a family of four. [/quote] So true. My teen DD takes long hot showers. My nieces are the same. Definitely see a drop in h20 bill plus sewage fees by about 1/3 (there’s 3 of us). Food expenditures went down. Teens are in a rapid phase growth so they’re constantly chowing- DH and I eat very simple meals - TJ burritos, salad, smoothies, oatmeal, etc. I realized we eat more panini now and cold cut sandwiches. Save us on gas stove cooking. Car insurance not much since her going to college 30 minutes away (she’s living in a dorm) didn’t change much. She’s still a dependent on our health insurance (came out better/cheaper than student health. I think our biggest change will be post college when she finds a professional job and will be on her own.[/quote]
