I really hate unexpected expenses. I mean REALLY hate them. Depending on where you live, you might be hearing your heater running throughout the day and night — thinking… ugh… that's gonna cost me.
I feel your pain. I really do. Born and raised in Michigan, we would do everything we could to keep warm without cranking the heat.
