Green Mountain Energy Review Stay away from Power switch Variable
This is my experience with Green Mountain energy they raised their rate to 10.9 cents after a few months while still offering 5.9 cents to new customers.
Stick to fixed rates when choosing energy suppliers.
Comment on your experiences with Green Mountain Energy below or just general power switch issues, comments or suggestions.

I love the study 30 minutes into the episode (Ignorance for Dummies) about the less someone knows the less they know how little they know about it. “The Dunning-Kruger effect”

Could You Come Up With $400 If Disaster Struck?
I feel what this guy thinks is actually the biggest problem in america. The problem is not how much you make in the “middle” class its how much you spend. The best way to make money is to not spend it.

Interesting movie on an interesting psychologist
Interesting movie based on the 1960’s psychologist Stanley Milgram. Interesting how much people criticized him for things he did that are more tame than most prank shows inflict on people just for entertainment. Also funny no one doing the fake shocking mentioned the if the learner was really in so much pain he could just remove the thing shocking him.
