For highly payed ivory tower folks, yes. For everyone else, it's going to be difficult. Energy is everything in modern society.

I'm near the bottom of the wage list and even if energy costs triple, I'll do fine.

Not sure what others are doing.

Depends on what you mean by "fine", too.

Are you in Europe? Some predictions are that the average family will have to spend upwards of 30% on energy there.

Right, and that would be an extra ~100 Euros/month on utilities for me. Say it's about as much for fuel if you have to drive every day. Luckily I can get to work using my feet. Not great, not terrible.
