Yup, because I refuse to live in a cold house and enjoy the feeling of warmth so much.

I'll make sacrifices elsewhere if I need to, feeling permenantly cold won't be one of them.

    When I was at uni a friend who was looking for a flat said something that kind of blew my mind about what I had been looking for with places to live. I pointed out that he could have saved a chunk of money a month on rent by getting a different place. He said "Yeah, but I've got to think about my standard of living."

    It's not wasteful to use energy if you're making use of it.

    What an interesting take, almost the opposite of what we see with people living outside their means.

    So the friend was saying that to get a cheaper place would have a negative impact on their standard of living. I wish I could think more like this sometimes.
