I can't pay my electric bill.
$170 in a one-bedroom apartment. Doubled from last month. Fucking blood-sucking assholes. And I can't switch companies because nothing is cheaper. My fucking salary does not go up this fast. What the hell am I supposed to do? And all you fucking assholes who think gas prices aren't high enough? I hope you die, you heartless pieces of shit. So now I guess I just roast in my apartment. No a/c at all. I can't open my windows because the stupid cat has torn all the screens.

1. Have you called the utility?
Usually, if you approach them, you can get them to make a deal to stretch out the payments. It's not an ideal solution, but better than having the lights turned out. In the meantime, take some cool baths and read in the tub when the heat gets unbearable.

2. No I am still too angry.
The price jumped from 13 cents a KWH to 17 in one month. Fuckers. And all the others are the same. Also if I switched it wouldn't take effect until the next meter read which is in July so I would have one more huge bill to contend with.

See if you can get a level plan payment that fits your budget.
