My kids don’t make the best choices.
They only like to go with what is cheap and figure that is the best.
Cheaper is not always better. A cheap car only runs so far. A cheap fridge costs more in the end with electric. I am sure we all paid for a cheap haircut and regretted it. My son recently learned a lesson about cheap heating equipment. My son made a choice that could have ended his life with no being careful with his cheap heater too. He had rented his first house in a less than desirable part of town plus the two of us nervous about her safety on a monthly basis. The neighborhood was known for gangs, drugs and theft but the rent was cheap plus he kept saying that he was doing great. When Winter arrived plus my son realized that the heat in the venue didn’t work that well she decided that he could maintenance the problem herself. My son then started blocking off the air vents so that the heat would only be directed into the rooms that he would use. That didn’t easily help that much so he decided to go to the local thrift store and got a portable gas furnace. It was super cheap and there was a reason for it. It was old and so old that it sparked when plugged in. the sparks almost started a fire in his place. The blocked vents made it worse and restrict the airflow too. My son could have died relying on that stupid space heater.
