Here’s a tough money hack from Houston: Nearly 80% of local families are cutting back on basics—like food—just to keep the lights on. With energy bills climbing, some folks are even sweating it out with no AC during brutal Texas summers. Why? Power companies are upgrading old grids, storms keep wrecking lines, and AI tech is gobbling up electricity. The safety net for help is shrinking, so if you’re struggling, you’re definitely not alone. #Business #Industry #MoneyHacks
