Being able to afford the heating bill is most likely the priority during the winter. Between inflation and this winter speculated to be colder than previous ones within the United States, many Americans find themselves in a familiar boat of worrying about their heating bill.        The Biden administration announced on November 2nd that they are planning to use $4.5 billion to help aid expenses when it comes to home heating costs. This is due to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, aka LIHEAP, which has been helping lower home heating costs since 1981.
