At 75, Patricia Mills Sanchez went back to work so that she could pay the bills, including Xcel increases.
Patricia Mills Sanchez is 75 years old. She went back to work about a year ago because she and her husband, who is a Vietnam veteran, needed extra money to cover their rising cost of living, including increased medical expenses and also rising property taxes and utility bills.
She'd only planned to stay there for six months, which she thought would be enough to help the couple get out of their financial rut. But she decided to stay because she enjoys the work — and she was glad she'd stuck around whenMills Sanchez pays for a supplement to Medicare because she and her husband have both had medical issues over the past few years and they need more coverage.
“Even with our solar credits, our bill was $190 [in February], and it keeps going up every month,” Mills Sanchez says, adding that it’s hard for her to even estimate what a normal bill would be because of how much it changes month to month. The latest bill, due March 30, is for $214, with about $140 for gas and $94 for electricity.
