In my house, we try not to use the furnace too often, and I am growing tired of it.
- I wish that we could afford to keep the furnace on more often.
When I was growing up, I was never used to using the furnace in this manner. My father had a great job, and he made enough money to use the furnace however he wanted. Now, our family didn’t try to waste money with the furnace, but we were able to set the thermostat to 70 degrees without worrying about whether or not we would be able to pay the electricity bill. However, my husband doesn’t make a lot of money, so we have to learn how to save money whenever we can. I wish that we could do it a different way, but my husband insists that the easiest way to save money is to adjust the furnace so that we don’t use it as often. In our house, the thermostat is set to 60 degrees, and our furnace is hardly ever on. We have to bundle up to sit in our house comfortably, and I constantly wish that we could just adjust the furnace so that we could use it more. I have even offered to get a part-time job so that we can afford to use the furnace more, but my husband doesn’t want me to have to get a job. I know that sixty degrees may not seem very cold, but during the winter with the furnace running, sixty degrees feels pretty cold to me. I am hoping that my husband gets a raise soon so that we can change our furnace habits. I would be very happy to be able to feel better.
