Save money or not?

The winter comes each year and so does the cold. Luckily, the technology advanced so far that today, the houses are provided with heat and the owners get to stay warm even if it’s -12° outside.
Russians, however, always found a method to stay warm even without heat. In America though, they prefer to stay warm the old fashioned way: paying for the heat.
Because many Russians have good jobs, like owning their own businesses, they can afford keeping the houses around 70° during the winter and paying around $100 per months for the heat depending on the size of the home.
The trick to get some fresh air into the house and avoid stuffiness, however, is opening one of the windows.
“I usually close the vent in my bedroom, open a window for the night, and sleep like a baby,” said Alex Teltevskiy.
This way of avoiding stuffiness is very popular among Russians, but some of them rarely remember to turn off the heat and the price they pay is concerning.
“I guess because we have such a big house and we open some of the windows to et fresh air, our usual heat payment is around $1200,” said an anonymous source.
Therefore, to have a warm house during the winter can either be inviting or it can almost cause bankruptcy if the owner is not able to support that kind of living.
So this holiday season, don’t forget to pay those heating bills and spend time with your loved ones while not working on those sad days.
