See, I have to disagree. We pay a lot for our HI. We don't use it much though. A check up every 6 months if we remember. The rest is the usual kids with ear infections, allergy meds and my wifes "lady stuff". Other than that we aren't even making use of it. God forbid we really do need it, but we're paying a lot for the hypochondriacs and welfare class that brings those suits to court for botched bo ob jobs!
We don't have AC, other than one window unit that we run for maybe a week or 2, at night, during the hottest part of summer. I suppose the electric drier is our biggest power hog, but the weather doesn't co-operate for drying on the line every day.
We don't go anywhere we don't have to, we're driving mostly 10-15 year old cars and trucks (2 95's, a 97, a 01, 04, 07) and we pinch pennies to save up for trips to see relatives. Most of my driving is in a 95 Jeep Wrangler with a 4 cyl, 5 speed, no air, darn poor heat and I can see the road through the floor. My other ride is a 95 Burb w 200K on it. Bought it for $1K when I couldn't find a decent pickup. No heated seats or GPS, although it does have a nice AM/FM/Cassette/CD. Oldest boy drives a clapped out Nissan that eats a quart of oil every other day, oldest girl drives a Chevy Trailblazer that eats front wheel bearings and needs an exhaust system and SWMBO has an 07 Explorer with 150K on it she has to use for work. Only the Trailblazer and Explorer have working AC.
The point is not everyone is living like a king running the AC night and day, buying $50K cars and taking vacations to Aruba 3x a year in between ski trips to Aspen. What we do is pay a heck of a lot in taxes. Over 20% of my income goes to income, land and school taxes. I could make good use of that money. Instead the gov't uses it to support their own interests of creating a permanent welfare class that will become the largest voting block in the nation.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
