[Great to be Debt Free]

OMG! I just went out and read my meter. Last month we used 888kWh and BGE electric cost $130.95. They won't read the meter again until Aug. 30th and already we have used 1846 kWh. and we are charged .11871 per Kwh. So my cost is already $262.40 with delivery charges and taxes!! And that doesn't include the gas portionwhich last month was $35.

And I only had budgeted $200 as that was our highest bill to date. (although I just looked and last month was $126, so the remainder rolled over -- and thank goodness -- so that means the budget actually holds 273.40. But there are still 8 more days before the meter gets read. Youguys might not see me online for a while! Sheesh!
