I have never been one to just spend money without legitimately thinking it through.
That even goes for a twenty dollar shirt that I see on sale.
While I’m legitimately thankful to make a great living and have a nice financial outlook, dumb spending can ruin that situation for sure. At the same time, I need to just get over myself a bit when it comes to spending periodically. Not every purchase needs research and scrutiny from the air conditioning of my family room. Sporadically, I need to just let it rip and go with our gut. But my gut, other than being prodigious, isn’t all that spot on really. The smart control component situation is a good example. I had this system in our head that the smart control component would be obsolete within years of it first coming out. That has not proved to be the situation at all. If anything, the smart control component has flourished in the intervening years. So I was just dead wrong about that gut feeling. But, when I’m wrong, I’m wrong and I can live with that. I don’t have a problem with admitting a mistake or miscalculation. That’s just a part of life. So, I called the heating plus A/C supplier and asked them to send out an HVAC professional to install a smart control component that I had recently bought. I did my research on this smart control component and didn’t even wait for a sale. But I suppose I got a superb one with a good track record. The installation by the heating and A/C professional didn’t take legitimately long at all. And he didn’t have to input much more than our most basic heating and cooling parameters. From there, the smart control component has simply figured it out.
