I always find this thread interesting seeing the similarities and differences between different countries. Americans get fucked up the ass by telecom companies and, of course, health insurance for instance.

England, UK. Don't have regular transport costs as I live close to the center of my town so can walk to anything I regularly need to get to. If needed will get a day bus ticket. Gas & Electric are both on fixed tarrifs ending in April and because of the absurd price increases since the start of the tarriff they will nearly double. Not looking forward to that. Rent actually decreased last year. First time that's ever happened, hope it continues this year lol.
