I will admit that I am an extremely cheap person.
I do not like to spend extra money on anything in life. I will buy the generic version of everything to save a dollar or two here and there. I will go without modern amenities in order to keep the cash in my bank account. I will even wear clothing that is ruined with bleach stains and holes so I don’t have to waste my cash I’m fancy new fashion wear. That being said, I really hate handing over money to the energy company. In fact, it makes me so upset that I would rather invest big money in my house to keep my monthly utility bills lower. I realized a few months ago that my indoor air temperature could be vastly improved if I could seal up my house. For many years I have known that my doors and windows needed extra insulation and complete upgrades. I live in a home with single pane windows that have definitely not been energy star rated to trap my expensive indoor air inside. I had put off making these large insulating investments because I was not ready to let go of my cash inflow. However, I also do not want to continue giving the energy company more money for operating my central heating, cooling, and air quality control system nonstop. It makes no sense for me to continually adjust my thermostat when I could simply adjust my insulation and save money for the rest of my life. I am surprised to even say these words… But I am upgrading my doors and windows next week for energy Efficiency.
