By
the sounds of it I need to look closer at my utilities company shares, as the
end consumer prices are almost three times higher for what Gazprom sells it in
continental Europe. The expenditures are
next to nothing – only distribution network and sales department.
In
overall the year was rather expensive, while I feel that we maintained almost
the same lifestyle, apart from the trip to an exotic destination.
In
the next post I will try to compare our 2012 family budget with the four
previous years.
