You Can Save Money Too

The heating and cooling costs in my turn of the century house were simply out of control for many years. I often found myself cowering under the blankets in the freezing cold weather because I simply could not afford to turn the heat on.

This site is my way of paying it forward and making sure everyone else knows how they can start saving too.
