CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — What have you noticed about your household bills lately? Your auto insurance, your mortgage, your internet bills? Likely they’ve gone up in the last year.
“It’s a little stressful, Just means we have to work a little harder,” said Corpus Christi resident Ramiro Villegas.
According to the bill pay site, Doxo, Corpus Christi residents are paying 5.7 percent more on their household bills in the last year.
“My light bill. That’s really high man. I don’t know what’s going on with that. I’m about to sleep with the lights off now,” Darius Saulsberry said jokingly.
“Same light bill, I got the bill yesterday, $614. So, it’ll be a good summer, it’ll be a good summer,” Dexter Jackson said.
Jackson and Saulsberry are also Corpus Christi residents. Among their electric bill, they’ve seen rent increase too.
