[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

Utilities do vary. We have an all electric house.

Electricity: $450/month
Water: $150/month
Internet: $150/month

If I’m totally honest, in the summer our electricity is actually even higher…..[/quote]

These are really high! Can you set the thermostat a couple degrees warmer/cooler depending on the season? Can you shop around for a better Internet package?[/quote]

Op here. We’re out in the desert and Internet is tricky. We’ve shopped it and it kind of is what it is. DH is fully remote in tech and needs super fast Internet.

Our electricity costs are high in part because we don’t have gas so electricity is heating the water. In the summer it’s insane but it’s very hot here. In winter it’s not quite so bad. We don’t use a lot of heat but we do use a lot of AC. [/quote]

This is the time to find fully remote jobs. Can DH try to find something with a higher salary that’s fully remote? Is the childcare daycare? [/quote]

OP is full of it.  I have a tech spouse, kids still in virtual school and we don't have internet at that price.  It's $30 a month.  If we went up, it would be about $50-60 a month.  They have a spending issue.[/quote]

FFS, you realize different parts of the country have different costs for these things, right?  Good lord, PP.  $30/month for outstanding internet access is dirt cheap.[/quote]

It's not outstanding and at times pretty slow but my tech husband knows how to usually fix the issues.  $150K for internet is insane.  [/quote]
