While most people pay monthly utility bills, that’s not exactly how the Amish community rolls. You see, in most Amish Mennonite homes there’s no electricity allowed. So, on the bright side, they have fewer bills to pay.

However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they live in complete darkness. Instead, some Amish depend on gas or kerosene to light up their homes.

While you don’t have to cut yourself off entirely, try and limit your usage and see what it does to your bills.
