Broke for the Holidays

Before we begin to factor in holiday expenses like gifts, travel, booze, Uber rides because of booze, and special events, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room: winter utilities.

Whether you live in Ada County or Canyon County, come November, you know natural gas and heating bills are typically the first to skyrocket, followed by electricity. Why electricity? Some of us—okay, a lot of us—would rather surf the sofa in the warmth and comfort of our homes than YOLO-it down the frigid and treacherous slopes of Sun Valley. Judge us all you want, but we know self-acceptance is priceless.
