Glimpse of a past scars our life

prepaid electricity

August 10, 2009

Sure living nowadays is getting harder. There are many proofs about it like our basic commodities being retailed. Like soy sauce at earlier time soy sauce was sold by bottles, sometimes these bottles after used up can be sold in junk shops for small incomes. Now they are replaced by plastic packages thus adding damage to environment.  The power of money to buy things becomes lesser and lesser.

                So they come up with a trend to lessen daily expenses. One of these is making a “prepaid” electricity payment. It’s like installing a prepaid meter and having a card worth of a limited amount. Will it really lessen expenses? Having the power to control the electricity consumption by controlling the amount you are paying.

                Let’s get with these facts.

1.       If an emergency occurred, like you need to plug that component to call someone and luckily your electric balance is at low; add the fact of availability of the load.  They say loads will be available just like cell phone loads, network problems… isn’t that bad?

2.       They say it will be faster because you don’t have to line up to payment stations just to pay your bills. Well those who line up for the payments are “due payers” who just pays in due time. Why not make your payment earlier?

3.       “We can control our electric bill because its prepaid”. Even if its post-paid or prepaid you can control it by using your appliances wisely. Turning off and unplugging appliances will save.

4.       Of course add the additional baggage’s of add-ons expenses that will be charged. No one can run away from it.

5.       And other negative factors that you can add.

Of course it is just an opinion about the so called “prepaid” electricity. The fact that saving nowadays is a part of daily lifestyle. It is the trend. So to go for that prepaid or stay as you were, the best way to save is by using it wisely
