I use my credit card to avoid the fees that come with a debit card and the hassle of cash. I pay mine off online every couple of days instead of waiting for the bill.

… And before someone states the obvious, there ARE exceptions.

Never Spend What You Don’t Have.

That’s what you say. And then follow with ‘While it is actually a good idea to have a credit card (to help build credit), it becomes pointless if you can’t pay off the balance every month.’

Utter nonsense, I’m sorry to say. Using credit is using something you do not have…

Another good tip for your heating bill – acclimatize yourself to the colder temperatures. When it starts to get cooler out, don’t reach for your warmest coat. Gradually work your way to it. That way, on the coldest days of winter, your warmest coat will actually keep you warm.

For hot weather, open your windows and use fans sparingly… don’t always crank them up to full, for similar reasons as the winter – if you’re used to slightly warmer temperatures, you won’t have a problem adjusting to a heatwave.

By the way, where I am now, it can get as cold as -40C in the winter.

I have just shifted to a more expensive apartment so here is what I did. I cut off my internet and have sold my TV. I am back to where we were 50 years ago and seem to spend as much.

Here in Seville, Andalusia (Spain), it’s very common to have hot summer days in which the temperatures rise up to 50ºCelsius and up. We always laugh when we watch the weather forecast man on TV. We have higher temperatures than Egypt in many summer days!
Still, we only have 2 air conditioners. One in the main bedroom (rarely used) and one in the living room. If we want to stay cool we go to any of those rooms, and take the chance to be together doing some family activity.

I found that the best way to stay cool during the night without air conditioner is going to sleep with a wet hair and head (bought special pillow and mattress linen for that). It works better if you have a ceiling fan.

A good idea is to place a wet towel in the refrigerator and place it over your head when it’s ready.

We could buy more air conditioners and get them installed, but what for? that only shots up the electricity bills, and we spend the worst 15 summer days (usually in August) away on vacation!

I agree with the homebrew sentiment, it is a great idea. But I think the best beer in town bit might give some people the wrong idea. No doubt your own beer will taste great to you, but some of your mates might pull some faces the first time they have a taste (and never drink it again).

Never forget that the sun can also power some things and is a natural light source.
