STOP! Do You Know How Much You Are Paying For Electricity?
A seldom reflected upon fact that could change your view on electric bills and what you are prepared to do about it! Take a look at the statement below and see if can open your eyes!
The Average Household in America consumes 10,654 kWh per year (888 kWh per month). With an average cost of 10.97 cents per kWh (april 2008) the cost for electricity would be $1168. Forty years of electric bills amounts to $46,758. - Dept. of Energy |
What would you do with $40.000? If you were to set aside the same amount of money as you normally devote to electricity bills each month, and instead invested them in funds, the resulting amount of money would be in the millions if you count 40 years of working.
The electric companies KNOW THIS! That's why they have you on a monthly payment plan. Each month the bills come sailing in and since there are no alternatives, you pay them! This generates HUGE amounts of residual income, not only from the money you provide them with, but also from the perpetual interest rate from their own investments. Savings that keep growing each year, funded by your payments!
Imagine if you stopped putting your hard earned money into their pockets and saved them for yourself? How would it make you feel if you could set aside a few hundred dollars each month for your kids. How about setting aside for your own personal retirement plan? Money that you would otherwise never see!
You might be thinking that you are only paying $40.000 or so, spread over forty years. But actually, when considering the alternative of investing your money in funds, you're giving away potentially millions!
So What Are The Alternatives?
One of the easiest ways to cut the electric bill in half, or even shred it to a mere 5% of what it used to be, is to invest in solar and wind energy. These are never-ending natural resources that provide you with more than enough energy to sustain your home. This allows you to not only save money, which you will, but to also become a part of the ever-growing environmentally aware community of people who chose to reduce the stress on the environement.
Now, solar home kits are expensive. If you were to invest in a ready to install system today, you would probably need to invest tens of thousands of dollars. Nevermind the installation costs. This is of course what the solar panel retailers want you to do! However there are better alternatives out there! Did you know that you can install a fully functional solar panel for less than $200?
