dude...at least we have water...last month it got shut off for a week while we scrambled for our paychecks....sh!t that was awful.

A few months ago the power got shutoff, but that was no where near as bad as having no water.

underbid people like him
- he is just now getting some work but it isn't enough to cover mortgage + debt + utilities

Internet is one of the last things, along with cable, that you should be spending money on until you have everything else paid for.

Make the house payment.
Make your electricity/gas payments
Make your water payment

If there is anything left you should save it for a future time when you may not have the $ to pay the above.

Only after you are comfortably paying the bills above on a regular schedule and on time should you even consider paying for cable or internet.

As long as you have water, you can probably get a little water turbine system to generate power. :)
