There's still time to lower your heating bills this winter (for FREE)

If we cross our fingers and wish real hard, maybe spring will come as soon as Punxsutawney Phil predicted earlier this month.

What's certain is that we're not done paying winter heating bills quite yet -- at least we're not done here in Ohio, where it can snow right through April.

There's still time to lower your heating bills, though, even if you didn't do a complete weather-proofing sweep of your home in the fall.

I know what many of you tenants are thinking:

"I'm a renter! I can't replace my windows or install a new furnace even if I had the money to do it."

Well, true.

That's why I put together this list of Four Fast, Free Ways to Lower Your Heating Bills. Check 'em out. Even if you're a renter, you probably can access everything you need to access right inside your apartment to make these four quick changes. They won't cost you a dime and might even save you one and then some!
