Either that, or have three people living in a one-bedroom apartment with no heat and no electricity! Haha
i live by myself in a small downtown condo and i don't own a car. as for no heat/no electricity, i find that most people are pathetic wimps when it comes to their thermostats. i don't turn my heat on unless the temp in my condo is below 55 (which is very, very rare and only occurs on the coldest of january nights) and i don't turn my AC on unless the temp in my condo is above 85 (which is also quite rare). in a nutshell, because i live in an efficient highrise condo and because i've managed to expand my body's temperature comfort range (55 - 85 F), i rarely have to use any energy to heat or cool my home. my monthly electricity bill is ~20 bucks, and i have no gas or other energy utilities.
