Our Family lives in San Jose, CA. which is one of the more expensive housing markets in the country. We cannot afford to buy our own home, hence we rent.

Everything in the state of California is expensive including Fuel, Electricity and Gas. While we continue to live here, we are mindful of our energy usage and save where we can.

The local Electricity and Gas PG&E monopoly in their infinite wisdom sends guilt emails every month pointing out how inefficient the house we rent is.
