A decent car should last you from five to six years. A mattress for eight years. This is about the same length of time that your major kitchen appliances like stoves, washers, dryers and refrigerators should last as well. This means that when it is time to replace those appliances, you might consider “splurging.” Digging deep into your savings to come up with those extra couple of hundred dollars can make all the difference when it comes to the longevity of that appliance.
Consider your fridge. It might be the most expensive appliance in your kitchen. It also happens to be the one appliance that is constantly running. You never turn your refrigerator off. That means it should be of high quality from a dependable manufacturer. You can probably pick up a used fridge on the cheap. Of course, you’ll just end up buying a new icebox when that antique goes up in a couple of months. Also, if you’re planning on adding to the family any time soon, you might find that you’ll quickly outgrow your old fridge.
Then there is the energy efficiency to consider. Most modern refrigerators come with Energy Star ratings. This means from the moment you plug them in, you’ll be saving money on your power bill. However, these models have a slightly higher cost. It just makes sense to splurge on an appliance that is going to last longer, be a better fit for your family, and save you money.
Another area where you should splurge is the removal of your old appliances by hiring Junk King. Technically, this isn’t so much a “splurge” as a very practical solution for getting rid of your unwanted items. With Junk King, you’ll be provided with a two-man crew who will know how to use a dolly! They’ll be arriving in a large truck capable of holding several kitchens worth of appliances. They’ll have no trouble getting your stuff onto the back of the truck. While they’re at it, that same crew could help you clear out your garage, closets, basements, and attics.
Hiring Junk King is also a very affordable approach to appliance removal. That’s because Junk King is only going to charge you by the amount of space your junk takes up on the back of their truck. If you were to add up hiring your own crew, renting your own truck and giving up time at work to drive to the nearest Chicago landfill you’ll clearly see what a bargain Junk King is. When you’re ready to swap out your old appliances and get rid of your junk, then Junk King is the only call you should make.
