I mentioned how we have more than 1 floor, but I told my wife "we can sleep downstairs in the winter to stay warm." I'm serious about it, but she has this "let's just pay the bill" attitude.

That's outrageous. When I first moved into this house I was seeing like $150 in the winter and about $70 in the summer. Now it's around $300 every month, no matter how much gas or electric we use (it's all on 1 bill.)
I'm ready to put my foot down (and up the electric company's butt!)
