It irks myself and others no end to spend money for stuff I absolutely get zero use out of.
There have been so numerous fads which are now at Goodwill or stuffed in a box somewhere that it makes myself and others weep to believe about the money wasted.
As you, dear reader, truly already know; it costs money to keep a household simply running. This doesn’t include all the other stuff like trips, celebrations plus luxuries. The Heating plus Air Conditioning bill alone is like a nice, modern truck payment each month in the summer. So, when I see the text reminder from the Heating plus Air Conditioning folks asking us to confirm the semi annual service date, I want to click no thanks. This is such a gut level reaction. While I understand the logic, I’m still denied any real, immediate value from having the Heating plus Air Conditioning tested fall plus Spring. However, I force myself to remember that I invested a wonderful deal of money in a state of the art Heating plus Air Conditioning system. The money I spend on keeping the heating plus cooling component in optimum shape allows for money on the long end. First, the savings in utilities will be significant. The heating plus cooling component will also last, on average, 6 years longer. That’s kinda like paying for braces on your daughters teeth plus waiting for the smile. There is, for sure, real value in spending money on Heating plus Air Conditioning seasonal maintenance. So, I spend money up plus transfer on. Now, that stupid, whole loft appliance warranty our wifey got us into, not a value. Actually, that there is far closer to a straight scam.
