That’s it. $97. The sum of all my monthly bills for October. Absolutely everything to run a household. That includes all of these:

• Electricity
• Gas
• Water
• Cable TV
• Hi-speed internet
• Cell phone
• Home telephone

I think the cell phone was the highest, being around $20 or so. Of course, things will change dramatically when winter comes and I crank up the heat. But for now, I’m enjoying the cheap utilities.
