My roommate leaves the lights on every evening, showing no concern for saving energy.

If I had a daughter, I would sit her down and talk to her. I would say, 'Look, when you pay the bill, you might struggle; it’s not a problem for me, but let’s think about your budget.' Sometimes people aren’t aware, but they understand when you explain it properly.

Dude, I had a roommate in my dorm who would even leave the nightlight on while sleeping. He only stopped when I said, "I'm paying the bills." Just be straightforward, don't stress yourself out for nothing. 😅

It's actually like a difference in perspective on life. Sharing the electricity bill doesn't just mean splitting the money, but also sharing the responsibility. Your suggestion for saving is quite reasonable; maybe setting up a common schedule or rule could work for you.

So, here’s the thing: last night all the lights were on again, and I started trying to sleep in the dark. When I said that, he asked, 'Why are you worrying so much, aren’t you getting bored?' Anyway, I guess I’m not calm 🤦‍♀️

Look, my friend, I understand that you're overwhelmed by the bills, but is it all about the lights? Maybe it makes more sense to save on other things. If not, just turn off the light at that moment; is there really a need to make it bigger? 🙄

I didn't understand what you wrote. He says "the electricity has bent our backs," and then he laughs saying "I won't give up on the lights." Where's the logic in this guy? It's not a matter of arguing with him, is turning on the lights fun?
