I live in Belgium and my house was cold all winter because I couldn’t afford the price spike.

  A villa, not an apartment? I live far to the north, in an apartment, and didn't notice anything this winter, wherever I went. But I heard someone in their villa here nearby actually moved elsewhere, over the winter, because of the high cost of heating

    I guess someone who owns a villa in Belgium doesn't really have to worry about electricity prices :P Unless they suddenly lost a lot of their wealth somehow.

      Villa just means house in that context, I believe

      I am 'owner' of a villa in Belgium. Villas in Belgium vary between 250K to 750K for a normal family 3 to 4 bedroom house. Typically a house has 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom. The price is very dependent on the location! Well we saw the monthly gas+elec price of 150 euros before the crisis, suddenly go 6-fold, so we did worry a lot. We decreased our heating a few degrees and used a lot more bio fuel during winter. Lately the price is about 3 or 4 fold the price of before the crisis. Edit: by villa we typically mean a house that is not adjacent to another house.

        750K US or Euros?
