    This depends where you live. Prices can be relative.

    I live in an apartment and electricity is included in the rent. I have not seen an electricity bill for most of my life.

    I also have a cabin off grid and installed solar panels. In summer, I cover most of my basic needs with four 100W panels. Lights, laptop, phone, speakers, fan, water pump, sometimes a small fridge, are all powered by a few batteries and the sun. I only use gas for cooking.

    If I had a house I would get an electricity bill, but the price of electricity in my part of the world is pretty low compared to other places. Someone living in Australia or France will pay double of what I would pay. But I’d still complain it’s too high.
