steph
I live in central Florida and am moving to Orlando soon (still in florida). I want a list of monthly bills that an average house would pay. Cost of bills would cover everything including:
mortgage [2 acres of land, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, upstairs extra room (just a brief description)]
electricity
water
a 20,000 dollar car
taxes
insurance
cable TV, phone, internet
Thank you, I will choose a best answer.
Answer
I live in southwest Florida, so cost should be close to what I pay.
1. Mortgage. . .it really depends on cost, how many years, etc. but guessing on what you described I'm going to say around $1800 a month.
2. My electric bill for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath is about $125 a month. . .so yours would be a little more, lets say $150 or so (depending on how much you run the air, etc.)
3. Water - We have well water, so I can't really help you on this one, but my best guess would be under $100 a month
4. $20,0000 car - also depends on how many years, interest rate, etc. but I would say around $375 a month
5. Taxes it all depends - I'd guess $2000 a year
6. Insurance - Car avg. $80 a month, homeowners $100? a month, health it totally depends $100 a month - $1000 a month depending on coverage, etc.
7. Cable - we have dish at $150 a month and my cell phone and internet run together at $150 a month.
Life's expensive, huh. Lol. Whatever you do, it's always better to over-estimate than underestimate. And don't forget about food expenses, gas, fun money, clothing expenses, pets (if you have any), and having money set aside for unexpected expenses like getting your car fixed or house maintenance, etc.
Good luck!

Can anyone tell me a type and size of small electric heater that is safe to use in medium sized bedroom?
special ed
I would like to buy a small electric heater to (help) heat a medium sized bedroom because the regular furnace in our house makes the room temperatures vary too much throughout the house.The heater has to be very safe and not use a lot of energy.Can you tell me a type and size of heater or brand name to buy?
I dont want it to use a lot of energy because there is a lot of electronics plugged in this room already and i dont want to overload anything.Thanks.

I really like using those sealed oil radiators. They take a little longer to heat up an area, but once they are warm, they dont use near the electricity of other types, and are much safer, too. As a radiator, they heat up the things around them (but not too hot) rather than heating the air, that just leaks out under the door and out the windows. They would be fine in a bedroom, I used one in my camper when I stayed in it for a week at a freinds house. It worked really well and kept it comfortable, even though it was cold outside. They usualy have three settings, too, so that after the oil inside it warms up, you can turn the power down, I think the low setting is 750 watts, thats like half of a hair dryer, Most of those other kinds use 1000 or 1500 watts. I just saw them at walmart for about 34.00, but thrift stores often have them. Thats where I got mine, for 8.00 I think. As you asked for ones that are safe and dont use a lot of power, I believe these best fit the bill. Anything that blows air with a fan, or has a wire element that glows, will really affect your power bill, believe me I have tried all of them. The oil heaters arent immediatly effective, its true, but you can just leave them turned on, on the low setting, and after a few hours, the room will be nice and warm., and will stay more evenly warm. as for safeness, none are better, nothing on it gets red hot, like the element kind. and they dont dry out the air, like air heaters.
