Save a little regret a lot

This is an OK heater bu the cabinet gets hot so best keep on a metal of other non flammable surface...it gets HOT!  The cord is the 30 amp 250 like others but would liked better if not formed plastic but a screw removable type to use the ubiquitous dryer 30 amp plug.  I chose to open the Chinese puzzle box cabinet to repair the dented metal and attach a long cord but used a twist lock for secure connection since had to change service at my box.

I would investigate other models that have ducted air path and may not get as hot.  Also, the extra 1k watt of some other models would be nice.  This is 4800 watt though not stated in manual? or on the cabinet.  140 at big box store and I got mine for about $70 from Fulfillment damage cabinet.  It wasn't hard to fix once I figured out how to open the cabinet.  Dimplex is about $100 from Amazon for best deals.  Other models listing for about $140 to $200+ but are said to be 5600 watts.  The added watts mean shorter run at 12 gauge wire or a jump to 10 gauge to place out 30 or more feet at higher rated and that wire is a bit more expensive.

CRITICAL...for a "construction site or work site heater, the exposed control is at the back bottom.  It is VERY vulnerable.  Thermal consideration probably dictate location but the control is awkward and can be damaged while in use or when stored. Pay attention to this aspect of any heater.  Knob does not switch off the power as the t-stat is energized at all times by one leg.

I saved a lot given damaged discounted unit so I don't regret a lot but if had to spend the going price I'd say go for the bigger units that have better heat insulation.  Read the review since these present a genuine fire risk.  Portable heater are among the most dangerous home appliance.  Sadly some deaths have occurred by unsafe use of home area heaters so PLEASE use caution and use SMOKE DETECTORS and have FRESH FIRE EXTINGUISHER whenever using electrical appliances

Im going to guess that almost everyone wishes they had more money, whether to be able to buy more or save more for the future. The concept of this book is summed up by the old Ben Franklin quote that has reached the point of clich, a penny saved is a penny earned. If you spend less on something (or don't spend it at all), youll have more money for something else.
Another clich is saying someone squeezes a penny until Lincoln screams, and some of these ideas abuse Lincoln worse than a third-world sweatshop. Others, only the most extreme spendthrift won't have already considered. Youll find a few that won't apply to you. (For example, how many people go to movie theaters? There must be some, because the theaters are still open, but personally I don't remember the last time I did and Im sure a lot of you are the same.)

Since this review is already clich ridden, Ill point out that time is money. Some of the ideas suggested trade time for money (for example, preparing certain food and cleaning staples from scratch, rather than buying them already made at a higher cost). How the tradeoff between time and money works for you will determine which, if any, of some ideas make sense for you. It depends on how much of each you have.

However, for this book to be a worthwhile purchase, you only need to find one idea that makes sense to implement. Many of the ideas take little to no effort on your part, only a minor change in habit. (For example, the choice in light bulbs you use.) Several savings ideas have positive effects in other ways, either on your health or the environment, which might be an additional reason to consider them. At its core, Save Your Money, Save Your Life, aims to get you to take a hard look at some of your spending habits and question them. Thats beneficial to anyone.

My takeaway is that choices we make determines our quality of life and our options and choices have exploded making our life unhappy and stressful. The reasons I did not like it in the beginning was the author talked a lot about studies after studies but eventually it started to make sense.

My other takeaway is that  I got that by  paying gratitude for what you have is important to increase the quality of life; concentrate on what good about the choices you make; be a satisfier -choices should be for good enough not only the best like maximizer; expects adaptation which means that all excitements get back to ordinary;.stop the regret and stop comparing, it could be better but it could be worse ; have rules- no more then 2 stores, 2 vacations-limit the choices.

I highly recommend this book which will  make you more aware of choices and that having more choices is not a good because of the opportunity cost-trade off and wondering if you made the right choice. You will learn to be a satisfier that makes choices that are good enough.

If it isn't what you expected after opening the box, $32 bucks to return. Yup, I feel like I screwed myself BIG TIME. Gift card, next time.

Just do it.  Don't focus on what you can't have, focus on the outcome & benefits. Such a reward. Great!

I read through this book and had to slow down eventually to really understand the concept of it. Although you get your regular message of "save now and or regret it later" you start to understand why you will really regret it. It's about connecting with your reality and really accepting what lifestyle you can afford and what lifestyle you want. I thought I was being sort of responsible with my money I was so wrong...

Any time you are entering a new domain for the first time, there is always a lot of hesitation and fear about what could go wrong if you are not careful with the choices you make. This effect is especially magnified when money is on the line with options and other types of investing. This "crash course" is exactly what the first-timer needs to help bypass those scary first steps where people frequently make huge mistakes that harm them, possibly even turning them off of trading for good. Highly recommended.

I am kicking myself for buying this item.  Had I spent 20 minutes at a local hardware store (or chain home improvement store) I could have saved myself $30 - $40.  I still had to go to the store and get a few things for the installation where I saw all of the component parts for fraction of the price.  Just keep in mind before buying that it is convenient, but an expensive convenience.
