Once, to get me to stop wasting water/electricity, my mom told me that every time you turn on the lights it cost 50 bucks on your electric bill, and when you turn on the water it cost 50 bucks on your water bill. For years I wondered where my parents were getting all this money from, and how anybody could afford water and electricity.
