One solution was heat at 60 and wear more clothes, cold water use, the mild winter (no temps less than 10 this year), use of candles that were given as gifts (always be safe, please please please). Yes, we were cold, but short term sacrifices for a long-term gain, DH in law school and me with my MSN (master in nursing - nurse practitioner). Oh, we will move to Oregon so I can have my own clinic. Any Oregoner's out there? NOw, who can beat me that is not in a small apartment, lives in a cold winter climate (our house 1800 square feet)?

That $300 dollars is for the YEAR, not one month.
We paid $75 for electricity. No oil bill until October. Just for budget's sake, though, I'll divide up the oil bill by 12 and add that portion, too. $75 + $25 = $100. See you in a month.
Congrats on your education. Oh, and just because I'm a SAHM doesn't mean I don't have letters after my name. Very clever of you to work that in to your post.
