No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Let me introduce you to https://sense.com/ and help you create a new obsession.
P.s. it's not perfect as it uses machine learning to determine your appliances and it can't find electronics like your computer or TV but it'll help you find what might be chipping away at your power bill.
I went with Emporia Vue because you can flash it with ESPHome and get rid of all the cloudware and have it connect to HomeAssistant locally.
This is what mine looks like after install:
And some screenshots from HA:

So, OP, just show your wife what I did, and let her know, it could be much worse, :D.
Thanks for that. I've been kinda-sorta keeping an eye out for a good solution for this. My house has three main panels (it's set up for subletting) so solutions like Sense won't work well, plus I don't want it to be dependent on a cloud service. I'll check out this product.
If you go this route, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube about it too that are quite helpful, just search emporia vue esphome and emporia vue homeassistant.
This is the one that I found most helpful to follow for the flashing process: https://youtu.be/z0Jv4nO9OWg?t=956
Cool product!
Can you post some screenshots of what it looks like with your usage?

I would love to see it in action.
