A family living in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park was shocked to discover their monthly electric bill was more expensive than most families make in an entire year: $107, 625.16.

That is insanity! There is no way that someone could use that much electricity in one month.

What do you think about this?

  • I would drop my loses and run for it.

  • this must be a mess up. there is now way anyone could use that much energy in one month

  • I would definately not pay that much for my electric bill.. unless i did something extream that i used that much.. but who needs that much electricity???

  • I dont understand how someone could use that much energy in one month. There must have been some type of screw up.

  • wow.. if i receive one bill like that i would have a heart attack .. i think its impossible have a bill like this for a normal house.. it should be a big house and needed to leave everything on all the time

  • Woah! That's insane.. I wonder if the house is huge? That would be reaalllly hard to pay for unless they had some good jobs..

  • That is crazy! I cant imagin a family using that much electricity in one month! Maybe there was a number mix up on the bill or something. Unless they have a really big family and they all use the lights all the time and heater and all of those things. But I doubt the cost or use would be that much.

  • I have no idea how they would have used that much electricity in one month. They must have their thermostat cranked way up.

  • either that's a mistake or they REALLY need to learn to turn the lights off when they leave the house

  • thats gotta be a mistake, how can someone use that much electricity in a month
