8. Wow! $1,350 a YEAR! That is fabulous - for a third world economy.
That is $338 per year per person in a family of four. Lets see - that is ALMOST a dollar a day! Amazing!

Now I can buy an extra candy bar each day for each family member this winter! Those extra calories will be needed because I need to turn down the thermostat due to the ridiculous increase in the cost of heating my home.

Speaking of my home - my property taxes have nearly doubled in the past couple of years. That in itself more than wipes out the $1,350 but I still think those extra calories are worth it.
