How old are your large appliances
Here’s the thing about the devices we buy, they aren’t made to last. In my experience with cell phones, they start having problems way before your 2-year plan is over. My family is pretty good with keeping large appliances around for as long as possible. Our dryer is 20 years old and our freezer is 24 years old, and we do everything we can to keep them running. Have any of you guys thought of those types of things in your house? I feel like my family isn’t as addicted to replacing and getting the newest gadget as others are, but we definitely cave when it comes to cell phones.
