Personally, I buy protein powder even though I know the ingredients are actually too cheap to justify the price. But I’m too lazy, and the reward of a cold chocolate shake after working out makes me forget about the outrageous cost. It’s a little guilty pleasure I’ve come to terms with.

      I pay $150 a month for water as a single person in a 2 bedroom apartment.

      But water should be a human right. Our taxes should pay for us to get water.

        my area has had so many times when leaks are in the system and someone gets walloped with a bill they have to fight. Sometimes the leak is close enough to the house that its their responsibility to fix but still how are they supposed to know there is a leak until informed. There are a lot of things that should be free of residences but paid by companies like that.

          My local water is at least a public institution but it is so corrupt and badly managed. If you set up auto pay you might get a multiple thousand dollar bill “on accident”
