Reply to comment by Modestkilla in PPL electric “accidentally” took a 3 month advance on automatic payments today by theREALPLM

Whoa. My elderly mother's oil bill was 350 last winter ( SMALL apartment), last bill this year 700.

This is ALL out of control. How in hell are we supposed to PAY this? All of us. I remember seeing what they're paying in Texas and thinking " Wow glad that's not us " It's getting there.

Yeah I have no idea, I make pretty good money so we can some what afford it, don’t like it, but can pay it. I have no idea how middle class families and lower are surviving right now.

Same and we also live way out in the middle of nowhere so have a well. Woman who helps us with a very elderly mother lives in a small town . Both she and her husband work full time and pick up extra hours when they can.

Rent has almost doubled, water bill through the roof and now their electric bill looks like a mortgage payment. She began using a food bank run out of a local church, she's frantic poor nice thing.
