^ How the hell do you only have a $12 electric bill? Are light bulbs the only things you own that use electricity?

i think plenty of people dont have to run their dishwasher much if they either eat out or get takeouts a lot

And you are telling me that's being not dirty? So you use dishes daily, but they get washed once every 2-3 days?

How about stop being so lazy and wash them bu hand within an hour or two of using them?

And then maybe you can call yourself not dirty.

And you also do laundry 3 times a week? What, are you a mechanic, or maybe own as many clothes as Tupac?

I work for a benchmarking company... we usaully do research projects for big pharma companies starting around $150k.

But I think we could get you this info for around $5-10k... pm for info.

1 person
2-3 loads of dishes per week
2-3 loads of laundry
water bill.... around 25 a month (it was only sent every 3 months, now its monthly)

the dishes and laundry are variable
use the car wash, never wash it at home
also irrigation is pumped in from a pond. so you may wanna account for yard watering and shit
