Electricity Costs ...

I saw these numbers recently and thought I would pass them along. You can draw your own conclusions. The costs are monthly averages based on the national average price of electricity:

  • TV/DVD ... $8.21
  • Lighting ... $10.95
  • Refrigerator ... $20.59
  • Central Air Conditioning ... $44.35
In general, the hotter something gets, or the larger the motors is, the more electricity is used.

Credit Score ...

You probably know that you can get a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus once a year, but you have to pay to get your credit score. Quicken Loans has introduced a new site, Quizzle, where you can get your credit score FREE. There is no catch. The site also has some good information about personal finances. Check it out.

Get Rich Slowly ...

The past year or so I have occasionally looked at J.D. Roth's Get Rich Slowly web site and Blog for financial ideas and thoughts. You might want to check out the site also and put it on your daily or weekly reading schedule. Today there is a particularly good article on the differences between traditional and Roth IRAs. And, don't forget the 10/10 Rule ... (if anyone has forgotten the 10/10 Rule, let me know). Plus, let me know what you think of the site.
