    My friend is a multi-multi-multi-millionaire. Her father started a retail giant in my country. She has her own pool building with (i think it’s called) a free span roof. It is big enough to contain 6 copies of the house I used to own, exterior, roof, chimney and all. She spends more money per month heating the building and pool (which has not been used in 3 years) and paying maintenance and upkeep, than most people pay on their mortgage per year. She complained that the cost of natural gas went up 1.2%. She was spitting mad, tearing up the bill, balling it up and throwing it down in a huff. She also has a 30 car single span roof garage with row after row of industrial racking which contains mostly packrat stuff. She keeps that “Quonset” as she calls it, a balmy 20C all year through our -25C winters. And also complains about that cost.

        So in your mind she wasn’t aware of what she was paying to heat it until it went up 1%

            You don’t realize she pays her bill every month?

            Like, how hard is this to figure out
