I’ve told you about us wanting to get a house soon enough.   I know having a place to call your own is part of the American Dream.  It would always be a good feeling knowing that you have your own place.  It makes you feel proud.  Makes you feel very grown-up that, at last, you’re now a responsible adult and that someone trusted you enough to loan you a huge sum of money to own a piece of that dream. J  And because of that sense of pride, you always make sure that the house you now own is in tip-top shape, clean and presentable.  That’s what a responsible homeowner does.

You also don’t want to ignore the bits and pieces of problems in the house because they might turn into something bigger - and consequently, more expensive to repair.   And when you get to have your own home, that’s when you realize that house repairs aren’t cheap either.

I once had a friend who almost had a heart attack when he found out how much a plumber charges to fix a small (or what he thinks is just small) problem in his kitchen sink.  And I have to agree with him, these people do charge an arm and a leg for their services.  And I think that’s why it’s always recommended to have a home warranty - just like American Home Sheild.

It’s companies like them who would be able to make home repairs a little bit easier to take.

Think about it.  If you’ve invested a lot on your home, you don’t want to leave anything to chance with your home repairs.
