My family's electric bill is high enough, including miscanellous bills. We need to cover about 900 dollars or less. I need advice on what should we do? My sister and my mother are the only people in my family working for the budget, as my dad is unemployed.

Sometimes electric companies have programs for folks that are under financial stress, whereby you are able to set up a "budget" program. Your bill remains the same throughout the year, rather that increasing dramatically during the winter months (as it sounds like yours is) and then going way down in the more temperate months.
You might check into it with the electric company.

Yeah, that's a good idea, balanced billing.
When I call my power company the answering system provides an option to request more time to pay. Might help in the short term, if your electric can do it.
Hey, MoneySeeker92, have you set up a business to offer custom graphics? You seem pretty good, maybe if you advertised and had reasonable prices, you could make some extra money.
Oh, and don't forget, it looks like you could make a little extra with our Cash Grab!

Agreed! Give me any kind of code to do...I hate doing graphics! (and suck at it)
