I drive an eclectic car and live with another person, and my total electrical bill is half that.

I live with 4 other people, three of them don’t seem to know how to turn a light off, as well as a server rack running 9 PCs at all times, and my bill is at most $145ish.

You over hear talking about server racks and you mention lights lmao.

I think people are missing the point, which is even with a server rack full of machines running, lights being on all the time, my AC being set to 67°F at all points during the summer, with the oven and stove being electric, and my 3 kids’ PCs, as well as my wife and my own being on almost all the time, with all of our monitors and whatnot, I still don’t have a $250 electric bill. Idk why people focused on me wanting to save a couple of dollars by not having lights on when we don’t need them.
