			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time last year most people in the UK were celebrating their good fortune of living in a booming economy which in turn fuelled foreign holidays, cars and just about anything else that you could think of, then all of sudden it stopped.</p>
<p>Almost over night things began to crash around us, but as people tighten their purse strings one habit could end up costing some people a lot and that is wasted energy, households have become used to leaving the lights on and TV’s on standby etc.</p>
<p>However, this habit could end up costing millions of energy customers thousands of pounds, for many households they have been drifting along paying a direct debit for their power and heat that they could be building a huge bill, which at some stage will need to be paid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no doubt that the cost of electricity and gas will be rising over the next few years, even though there has been a slight drop recently the prices will always begin to creep up again. However, there are things that the average householder can do to reduce this costs.</p>
<p>The only problem is that in order to save money, there is a need to spend some cash or as we like to say invest in your future.</p>
<p>The optimum amount of investment would be around £15,000 but clearly under the current circumstances this is clearly out of the question for most people, but there are smaller more practical investments that can be made as well.</p>
<p>The first one would be to invest in an insulating jacket for the water heater, for a few pounds this will pay for itself in no time. For more enthusiastic investors there are solar panels and wind turbines which can make a big difference, but at a price.  </p>
