[quote=svelte]And you might chose to think of it this way. Even if you don’t buy the warranty and get stuck with $3k worth of bills to replace seals over the next three years, you’ve STILL saved $$ over buying the Porsche! :-)[/quote]
Agree. That’s the weird thing about financial decisions. Hemmed in by somewhat irrational human constraints. She just likes the mini even though it just leaks like crazy
And anyway, she earns way more than me. She could just go buy whatever she wanted but she likes to have a nervous geek manage family finances I guess. And with our income approaching all time high, this decision should be peanuts to me. But I still sweat small stuff, and it’s giving me a slight headache….whether our income is 100k or 400k, once a tightwad, always a tightwad…and my family role in general is to constrain spending generally kind of like an idealized republican congress.
Sales tax alone on the Porsche will be way more than the warranty.
I’m leaning toward the warranty. I’m still scaredycat.
