Everybody has been having a hard time lately.
If I have to sit down and have another conversation with my wife about our grocery, utility, or gas budget I am going to lose my mind.
I know that we are in a very tight financial space at this moment. I think most of the country is feeling the same way when it comes to their personal finances and future stability. Unfortunately, things don’t seem to be getting any better for my family when it comes to the career or financial front. In fact, I recently learned that my hours are going to be cut even further at my job. This means, we are going to have to take a drastic cut out or indoor air handling device usage, as well. If you don’t follow… You clearly don’t own a central heating and cooling system. When we moved into this house it was already equipped with a central air conditioning system and forced air furnace. We didn’t want to spend money on separate heating and cooling devices but we realized that the central temperature control wasn’t extremely energy efficient. Unfortunately, the heating and cooling system has only gotten less energy-efficient as time has gone on. For us to operate the air conditioning unit we have to set aside a significant amount of money each week. Since I am going to be losing even more money from my normal job this translates to reduced central heating and cooling functionality. I hope that the outdoor air temperature follows the trends set by our economy as soon as possible… it better decrease.
