Economy

På det stora hela är ekonomi ett sjukligt tråkigt ämne – men eftersom jag påverkas direkt av hur en del beslut tas, blir det min business att diskutera dessa frågor.

Electricity and my finances

Published 12 September, 2022

Jag fick för mig att kolla vad elräkningen ligger den här månaden. Det var ingen rolig upplevelse. Förra månaden betalade jag drygt 600 span – nu ska jag betala 1 007 kronor i el.

Electricity prices

Published 23 October, 2021

Electricity prices must have risen. My latest electricity bill was about twice as expensive as a few months ago. It's actually not really wise. Much like summer 2018, when my electricity bills for two rooms and a kitchen went from approx 250 SEK / month to over 700 SEK / month. Completely insane, even if I at least that time… Read more →
