When I hit the magic number, I didn't take one aspirin a year and thought it was foolish. Who knew I'd live this long? Of course had I put the amount they would have deducted in a savings account for 18 years, I'd be more than covered today.<br />I must get that car repair insurance daily since I have a 17 year old car. My years qualify still but my mileage of 170,000 is out side their limits.

Even my toasters seem to last a long time. A side-by-side fridge&freezer I purchased in 1986 lasted 32 years (fridge) and 33 years (freezer). Any insurance would have long expired. My uninsured washing machine is now 22 years old.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-47804944269760949432020-02-28T22:38:18.368-05:002020-02-28T22:38:18.368-05:00I added up one day how much we spend monthly on in...I added up one day how much we spend monthly on insurance. Most of this insurance is "needed", i.e. home insurance, car insurance, life insurance. It was a staggering amount but "necessary" in most of the cases. Can't buy a new car without having insurance; can't buy a house without insurance, etc. I generally loathe insurance companies but they are a "necessary" evil. We had an instance years ago when I backed up our car into the rental house's garage and hit the side of it. We had renter's insurance and of course car insurance (2 separate companies). Neither the car insurance or renter's insurance would pay for the damage to the house. The car insurance paid for the damage to the car. Neither company could give me a reasonable explanation why repairing the house was not part of the coverage. Needless to say we don't have insurance from either one of those companies these days.<br /><br />I too hate insurance.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-30505696257117503972020-02-28T21:49:32.371-05:002020-02-28T21:49:32.371-05:00We had to replace our water main.

You bet something bad will happen while the insurance company bets nothing bad will happen to you, being most specific about what that bad thing might be. Either way you lose.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-82269294477765012282020-02-28T20:05:08.591-05:002020-02-28T20:05:08.591-05:00You might not.believe this.but my refrigerator is ...You might not.believe this.but my refrigerator is over 40 years old and still looks and works good.

We have a private well.<br /><br />Many years ago, we had insurance on a VCR. When it went bad, we had to drive it to an obscure location in St. Louis (60 miles one-way), leave it for a week, then drive back to pick it up. Not worth the cost and inconvenience.

Whenever I'm offered 'extended warranty' on a purchase like an appliance, i always say something sarcastic like, "you mean you expect it to fail in less than 3 years?" They just look at me.<br /><br />I think I get a letter once a week from water, gas, or electric offering me coverage. What a waste of money.Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.com
