I read the title of this thread and went, GRRRRRRRR! Cable TV has gone up every single year. Electricity went up. Monthly assessment went up because of the high cost of natural gas for heat, plus the removal company charges the association more because the gas for garbage trucks is so expensive. I just got a notice of assessed valuation which means property taxes are going up again. The only good thing is that it has not been super-hot out for the past several days so I have not had to run the A/C - so electric bill for the month will be a little less. It's supposed to be in the high 80s all this week though. GRRRRRR!
