Mine are higher but not crazy higher. But, you're saving money in so many other ways it doesn't matter.

That's awesome. Are you in IT, or Operations, or Sales, or Product Development, etc?
I always wondered about that
Yeah you save money on Gas, Lunch, Commute Time, Work shoes, etc
But how is your Electricity, Water, Gas, Heating bills?
I assume the prices are more if you're running your A/C or Heater more, cooking more, opening and closing the refrigerator, Wifi router on the whole day etc
Marginally more. Like $50 total. But more than offsets what I woulda spent on gas/coffee/lunches out.

Nothing compared to what I save in gas
This...You might see a slight increase in your heating or A/C bill but that is easily offset by the money you save on gas, dry cleaning, food and wear & tear on your car.
I'm interested to see how this plays out over the next few months because people do not want to go back into the office

When I was WFH, luckily there was maybe one more kinda cold month before the weather got nicer, so instead of having lights on all day, just use the sun. The food I bought was from Target and I can cook more and heat up more stuff instead of spending more money than I need to on lunch. The money I saved came in handy when things started easing up.

I utilize sunlight. I don’t turn on my lights often except for night time.

That's another thing.
My old office didn't have Windows but I never turn on any lights during the day because I get a lot of sunlight in my house. Sometimes I get too much and it creates a glare on my computer screen
We probably used less electricity throughout the country because these big ass commercial buildings/offices aren't burning as much juice to keep the lights on.
No. My electric bill is the same. So is my internet bill. I don't pay water or gas.
