Choose Wisely

Have you ever bought an extended service plan? I have only once, and I ended up regretting it. In my case it was an education issue because I bought a car warranty that I thought was a bumper to bumper total coverage warranty and in reality it was just a power train warranty. The pieces of the "power chain" on your vehicle are about the last things that will ever break so that is why companies are so happy to sell you one.

Some of these extended plans are very good. I realized recently that not having one for my cell phone is a bad idea. I have jumped through numerous hoops and wasted lots of money in the last 6 months due to broken phones that were not covered or only partially covered.

So pick and choose wisely, some of these plans are very worth it but you have to know what you are getting yourself into.
