Hello everyone, my name is Sharon and I am a Pile Person. (Hellooooo, Sharon....) I save things. I firmly believe that my saving things is GOOD. My house may become a fire hazard of stacked flammables, but I don't worry....
because....
my homeowner's policy is probably in that pile. So is the number to the Fire Department. Luckily, I saved that stuff.
Today, I am EXCEEDINGLY pleased that I saved the paperwork from the windshield I had replaced on my Expedition over 2 years ago. That paperwork contained a secret incantation that I invoked today when I learned that my SUV was going to cost 1500.00 to fix. Why? because the problem (a wet electrical thingie that caused my eyes to glaze over in shock when I learned of the repair bill) was directly caused by a leaking rubber seal that goes around the windshield. That seal comes with (this is the magical part) a LIFETIME warranty. LIFE.
TIME. (it had been over 2 years since we replaced that baby!)
WARRANTY. ( I paid for NOTHING. Zip. Nada. ok- I had them do an oil change while we were there, but that was only 20 bucks.)
Moral: The words Lifetime Warranty are your very own GET-OUT-OF-PAYING card... the best that this real life Monopoly game we're all playing has to offer. Listen to me... keep good records. Don't throw out ANYTHING that says Lifetime Warranty on it. And stock some good champagne in the house... you're going to need it when you find out that you won't have to pay for that 1500 car repair either. WOOOT!
