Do you rent a hotel room if your power goes out or tuff it out?

Question

beebella · Accepted Answer

When I was growing up, sometimes we would go to a hotel for the night if my parents could afford it, but then there was one time when we went a whole week without electricity. It was shit, but we made it work and it certainly prepared me for whenever I would have to go without power again in the future.
So, I stick it out. Plus, I have other forms of technology to help keep me entertained that I didn't have when I was a kid. 😋

I always tough it out. We've had the power out for a week in the middle of a blizzard and been fine. Just pretend I'm an old fashioned wifey from pre-electricity days. Stoke the fire, use the gas stove, etc. Why waste money renting a room when I can invest that money and do a little more work?

Tough it out. The last time I went to the movies was because we had a power failure and I was looking for a warm plaace to hang out.

Depends on the month. No issues renting a place for a few nights but if weather is nice, light some candles and enjoy the vibe

I’d rent the cheapest motel I can find since it’s purely for sleeping in.

It's not freezing cold here in the winter and the power is never down for more than half a day. The last time I remember the power going out all night was during a big storm in the early 80's

It would depend on the ETA of the power being restored. So far I never have.

No need to. I have generators, plenty of fuel, kerosene lights, and a coal stove.  Staying put to protect against looters!
