I have a new philosophy as I age...I'll be 79 soon.

What is...is...

Saves me a lot of hostile feelings which keeps me calm.

You’re a better person than I am. Every day when I use that electric stove and its incessant beeping at me, I have MAJOR hostile feelings. (I’m just behind you in age.)

[Tell It Right]

When my wife and I moved into our house (that she mainly picked) she hated the electric stove. Not only had she had a gas stove for years, but she grew up helping her mother cook and cater. So cooking is very important to her.

Now she loves our electric stove. About the time I told her I was ready to switch it to gas, our gas bills started shooting up, as did our power bills. I told her we could either switch to gas cooking like I promised, our I could do the math and build a strategy to make our house all-electric and install enough solar so that our energy costs will be less than what they were in 2019 (thus getting rid of what's now the past 4 years' worth of energy inflation). She chose financial security over cooking with gas. And she hasn't regretted it.

She now loves cooking with power because to her it's part of our retirement financial planning not being torn apart by the communist Dims' control-freak energy polices. Some of our peers talk about going back to work or working longer before retirement in large part to help pay the sky high power bills, natural gas bills, and cost for gas at the pump.
