My gas bill for the house went from $50.00 to $200.00 within 1month!!! I was so upset, but it is because the weather here dose not know what its gonna do from 1 day to the next. I have 2 kids plus my nephew and husband here...so thats a lot. The gas for our cars cost around $2.30 per gallon. Your gas company should have a payment plan for those who cant pay their bills all at once. An income based plan. Check it out.

power #175, gas $70 summer & 240 winter (gas heat), water     $85, insurance higher in CA so I can not help there we do not have earthquakes just hurricanes. \nThe real expenses come from upkeep - power washing, painting, \ncarpet cleaning, replacing appliances & heating units ( I just paid $8600 for air conditioning unit ), water heaters. I built my house\n 8-1/2 years ago & I have replace air conditioning, dishwasher, water heater, carpet downstairs, had it painted. I would quess I have spent in maintenance & repairs around $18,000 in the last 5 years. More than I expected for sure.\nGood luck with new house, I love mine.

Check with the city's Energy Office (might have a different name but every city has a similar agency). They can offer short-term assitance to folks who can't pay their energy bills.  That will at least keep the lights on.\n\nAs far as the previous landlord, there is not much you can do.  His defense will be that you could have simply overpaid your monthly electric bill to avoid getting caught short; in fact, the electric company where I live actually recommends doing that, if you get to your third month with an estimated reading. Since he's not the landlord any more, you can't really go back in time and force him to let the utility companies have access to the meters. And technically it's not his fault for your getting behind in the bills because your bill states if it is an estimated or actual reading; it's common knowledge that estimated readings are always too low and months of them could take a bite out of your pocket; and you were always welcome to overpay the bills.

I would start at your local utility company. I put up a deposit to get my utilities turned on but they credited my account after a few months. I don't really think they save up refunds like that. They probably credited your account and you didn't notice.

I'd call the power company and ask for a reread.  Usually they will explain to you how to read a meter and hold while you check the reading.\n\nYour bill has almost doubled, so that means heavy usage or a raise in rates.  Sometimes a bill will be higher if the meter is normally read every 29 days and the company goes a month and reads it on the 34th day, but it wouldn't be that high.\n\nPossibilities are more baking, using more heat with central air or floor heaters (wattage gobblers), an actual raise in rates (Progress Energy was allowed to hike its rates to cover all the money it lost restoring power from the '04 hurricanes.  The raise just went into effect this year, and I saw a dramatic raise in my bill.  The usage is the same, it just costs almost twice as much for it.  I'm going to be broke this summer, if I can stand the heat, the humidity will still need to be reduced.)\n\nAnother possibility is someone is tapping into your electric line.  If you cannot trace the increase by checking for rate increases or usage, I'd ask them to send an electrician out to check there isn't "unauthorized usage."\n\nMake sure there isn't a charge for this.

First, it depends on which state you live in.\n\nThere are a variety of taxes that phone (and other utilities) like to pass down, especially excise taxes.  I would plan to pay anywhere from 10% to 15% in taxes.

It depends on how much you are making and how many dependents you are claiming. The tax standards were raised this year.

I live in a suburban area in a 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom house with a garden, pool and maidsquarters. We have just renovated our house making it alot more modern and added on a cottage for my grandaprents. It is alot nicer than it was. Most of the houses in my area are modern and nice. They aren't that cheap either.

I think I got $1,187 federal and $59 state. I wish I'd gotten more but that's life and yes it does annoy me that it's interest free.
