the reason i have been saying off and on financial problem was because of the electricity bill. i fell way behind last year. it doesn't help that the price has more than doubled in the last 5 years, 47% last year alone. i started with a huge bill but had to claim medical necessity 3 times, that's all you are allowed. because i had an arraingement i couldn't have a new one until every penny is paid.
that meant i had to pay $1074 this month or get shut off. well i kept working at it and i have $800 but the other 274 went hard. i had a lot of options . i decided to see if i could modify my personal loan. so they gave me a new loan so i payed the old one first. it was heavy on my shoulders. that bank loan helped, so i'm ok now . if the price of electricity keeps rising the elderly won't be able to afford it. i do ok but still hit a bump in the road sometimes . but soon elderly wil have to decide what to buy. electricity , meds, or food
