The bills from the heater use are stressing me out

My wife likes to blow through money like it’s her job.

If she sees something that will benefit us, she will buy it.

She doesn’t really take account of the bills and such. This is starting to become a problem with us because I am the only person who actually had a job and an income. It hasn’t always been a problem but when her health took a hit and she wasn’t able to work anymore we started struggling financially. The one thing that I know I can save money is on the gas bill caused by the excessive use of the heater. The thing is I have to pay for an HVAC technician to check out my heating and cooling system a few times a year. I changed the air filters after watching the HVAC tech do it once before so I have that down. Still, I need my work to stop cranking up the thermostat to heat the house. I don’t know why she wants it at 80 degrees but she does. She says she is always cold but I don’t get it. I have to wear shorts and a t-shirt to stay cool. I just don’t argue with her because it’s pointless but I need her to start looking at the expenses we have so we can move forward in a positive direction. Maybe I can find her a job working online from home so she doesn’t go anywhere and that will help lessen the bills. And then on top of that, I’ll say she is in charge of the gas bills since it’s mainly her that it’s so high. I’m just trying to brainstorm ideas.
