Being "stingy" and "saving money" are two different things ？
There is one thing I am careful about in my life.

That is "not to be stingy. Saving money and being stingy, when you look at them in words, they don't seem very different, but there is an overwhelming difference between the two.

There are many things that are positive in saving that become negative in being stingy. Saving money is about reducing spending and increasing savings by eliminating household waste, while keeping necessary expenses the same. Being stingy means cutting back on even essential expenses and being so reluctant to spend money that people around you think you are poor. Many people save money in order to achieve their goals, but in the case of a cheapskate, they just save money and do not spend it on others as well as on themselves. Saving and being stingy are two very different things, even though they may seem the same at first glance.

Saving money on electricity doesn't have to be miserly. Electricity savings can have the following benefits.
Saving on household expenses. Since electricity bills fluctuate according to the amount of electricity used, saving electricity can reduce the amount you pay each month. For example, changing the temperature setting of an air conditioner by just 1°C can save about 1,000 yen per year1.
It is environmentally friendly. Fossil fuels are often burned to produce electricity, which emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide （ CO2 ）. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and cause serious problems such as climate change and ecosystem destruction. By saving electricity, CO2 emissions can be reduced and contribute to the fight against global warming2.
It leads to stabilization of electricity supply. Electricity demand fluctuates depending on the time of day and season, but there are limits to supply capacity, especially during peak periods in summer and winter. By saving power, we can balance the demand for electricity and reduce blackouts and dependence on thermal power generation3.
As described above, saving power can have a positive impact not only on yourself, but also on society and the planet. Saving electricity is not a miserly thing; it is a smart and eco-friendly thing to do.

The electricity savings I mentioned in #111 means that when it gets hot during the day, I turn up the temperature and run to Starbucks or some other cool place. I meant that I've never seen a rich person who is stingy with his electricity bill and runs elsewhere because he's uncomfortable in his own home.
Your punctuation-free sentences are pretty funny too ？.
