I received our monthy electric bill yesterday. I was...surprised. Last month our electric bill was $320. A bit high considering we were on vacation for one of the weeks of that month. So I made it a point to try to be better at using the grill for cooking and turning off lights and stuff like that. But typically the increase in the summer months comes from the central A/C. So we made a concerted effort to use it sparingly when the summer first began. Well after the July bill (and with a little help from Mother Nature) we started keeping the windows open more often and used the small fan we have in our bedroom to keep us cool at night.
August electric bill -- $180
Savings - $140
Now "that's hot"!

How do you achieve that elusive dream of someday owning a vacation home? It seems like for years we've been saying "in the next two years" we'll get out of debt, save and buy our vacation home on Cape Cod. I can't tell you how many times those two years have come and gone. Sure, we're making progress but it's too slow for me - someone who likes instant gratification. So this is our attempt to kick it up a notch. We're giving ourselves 18 months to make it happen.
