Yeah. My bill is somewhere around $1300. A couple years ago, it took maybe $600 to fill my tank. We’re running low, and there is a freeze coming, so it looks like we’re going to be topping up with diesel for a couple weeks.

The stupid thing is I finally got a raise where I’m making what should be enough to cover my expenses, but every fucking thing else just got more expensive too, so I am actually worse off than I was a year or two ago.

Also, fwiw I keep my thermostat at 60, we all take short showers, and run the wash on cold. Just about anything we can do to stretch things out.

Same, friend. A "merit increase" of 2% doesnt cut it when every cost in life has doubled. :/
