Ralph: Have you ever found yourself at the checkout counter?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,340
Wondering if you should purchase that extended warranty for that new electronic device you just bought.

3
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:13,799
It's a decision that can leave many of us scratching our heads and questioning what's the right choice.

4
00:00:14,129 --> 00:00:15,060
Well worry, no more.

5
00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:22,830

10
00:00:57,481 --> 00:00:59,401
Ralph: Welcome to our technology Tuesday show.

11
00:00:59,401 --> 00:01:00,871
I'm so glad you chose to join us.

12
00:01:01,111 --> 00:01:07,561
I just want to thank you for listening and supporting the program I'm coming to from the Estep Farm in the Saggio Accounting studio.

13
00:01:07,771 --> 00:01:12,421
And like I said, yesterday in Delaware, it is allergy and pollen season.

14
00:01:12,721 --> 00:01:16,621
So I feel like I am just stuffed up, but bear with me as we moved through this.

15
00:01:16,621 --> 00:01:21,991
So let me put on my podcaster hat, let's put down those overalls and push that adding machine to the side.

16
00:01:22,411 --> 00:01:25,591
And let's get some financial wisdom from a Christian perspective.

17
00:01:26,011 --> 00:01:28,381
Today, we're discussing a topic that affects many of us.

18
00:01:28,381 --> 00:01:35,341
Listen, we've all got these electronic devices and that's whether or not to buy an extended warranty on our electronic devices.

19
00:01:35,731 --> 00:01:38,911
Now, as Christians, we're called to be wise stewards of the resources.

20
00:01:38,911 --> 00:01:40,291
God has entrusted to us.

21
00:01:40,711 --> 00:01:46,681
So let's examine this issue through the lens of faith and from a lens of practicality, because that's really the key.

Tomorrow's going to be our wacky Wednesday.

25
00:01:56,221 --> 00:01:57,241
show we're going to do this.

26
00:01:57,241 --> 00:02:00,961
We're going to talk about the procrastinators guide to bill payment.

27
00:02:01,261 --> 00:02:05,881
So if you're a procrastinator and you're always putting off paying those bills, we've got to show for you tomorrow.

28
00:02:05,881 --> 00:02:06,991
So don't want to miss that.

29
00:02:07,356 --> 00:02:09,871
So let's start today with our relevant Bible verse.

30
00:02:09,871 --> 00:02:16,591
It comes to us from the book of Proverbs chapter 16, verse three, and it says, ask the Lord to bless your plans.

31
00:02:17,041 --> 00:02:19,921
And you will be successful in carrying them out.

32
00:02:20,401 --> 00:02:28,441
This encourages seeking God's wisdom and discernment for decisions rather than relying solely on our own reasoning about perceived the benefits.

33
00:02:28,771 --> 00:02:33,391
The spirit of this verse applies when considering pros and cons of purchasing a warranty.

34
00:02:33,631 --> 00:02:36,511
Listen, folks, I try to tie faith and finance together.

35
00:02:36,691 --> 00:02:39,871
It's a bit of a reach today, but it really talks about plans.

36
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:41,341
So let's dive right into this.

37
00:02:41,881 --> 00:02:43,441
Talk about my personal experience.

38
00:02:43,441 --> 00:02:49,891
I remember when I bought my first smartphone, the salesperson was incredibly persuasive insisting that I needed that extended warranty.

39
00:02:50,161 --> 00:02:56,761
To protect my investment boy was I torn on the one hand I wanted to ensure my device was covered in case of any mishaps.

40
00:02:57,121 --> 00:03:00,841
On the other hand, I couldn't help, but wonder if I was falling for a sales tactic.

41
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:02,581
Hey, that's what it feels like sometimes.

42
00:03:02,581 --> 00:03:07,021
when we're at that register and they ask you, would you like to buy the three-year extended coverage?

43
00:03:07,351 --> 00:03:10,111
So after some research and prayer, I made my decision.

44
00:03:10,381 --> 00:03:12,721
I'm going to share that decision with you later in the episode.

45
00:03:13,051 --> 00:03:16,861
So before we dive deeper, let's clarify what we mean by extended warranties.

46
00:03:17,251 --> 00:03:22,951
These are service contracts that offer additional coverage beyond the standard manufacturers warranty.

47
00:03:23,371 --> 00:03:32,071
They typically cover repairs or replacements for a specified period often ranging from one to three years after the original warranty expires.

48
00:03:32,071 --> 00:03:34,201
And my experience has been with electronics.

49
00:03:34,441 --> 00:03:38,701
A lot of times, those warranties are 30, 60, maybe 90 days.

50
00:03:38,881 --> 00:03:41,251
It's very unusual for them to be any longer than that.

51
00:03:41,701 --> 00:03:50,101
And the truth is folks extended warranties are available for a wide range of electronics from smartphones, laptops, televisions, home appliances.

52
00:03:50,431 --> 00:03:53,731
It seems like every time I go to best buy or one of the big box stores.

53
00:03:54,091 --> 00:03:56,971
Every time I purchased something that plugs in or has a battery.

54
00:03:57,241 --> 00:04:00,271
The next thing they ask me is, do you want an extended warranty with that?

55
00:04:00,271 --> 00:04:01,711
So there's a lot to talk about here.

56
00:04:02,071 --> 00:04:05,041
So let's jump right into the main part of our discussion.

57
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:08,911
And that is the pros of buying these extended warranties.

58
00:04:08,941 --> 00:04:10,831
Well, number one, it's pretty straightforward.

59
00:04:11,131 --> 00:04:21,301
It gives you peace of mind knowing that your device is covered beyond the standard warranty can provide a sense of security, especially if you rely heavily on your electronics for work or personal use.

60
00:04:21,301 --> 00:04:24,031
Now, the truth is folks in our everyday lives.

61
00:04:24,031 --> 00:04:27,091
I feel like we're attached to those cell phones, those smartphones.

62
00:04:27,511 --> 00:04:30,901
So to have a warranty, might indeed give us that peace of mind.

63
00:04:30,901 --> 00:04:32,431
And I'll talk about that a little bit later.

64
00:04:32,761 --> 00:04:38,761
Number two, it could provide potential savings if your device does experience a major malfunction.

65
00:04:38,791 --> 00:04:48,871
And I feel like all of us has seen this happen a time or two outside of that manufacturer's warranty an extended warranty could save you significant money on repairs or replacements.

66
00:04:49,111 --> 00:04:51,331
Again, I'll talk to you about my personal experience.

67
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:52,681
A little later in the show.

68
00:04:52,981 --> 00:05:00,181
Number three, there are some added benefits, some extended warranties offer additional perks, such as accidental damage coverage.

69
00:05:00,361 --> 00:05:05,581
Like if you drop it in the toilet or something, Something like that or drop it in the sink or drop it in a swimming pool.

70
00:05:05,581 --> 00:05:11,941
or in a lake or the ocean, some offer free tech support, which can also be valuable depending upon your needs.

71
00:05:12,481 --> 00:05:17,851
Now as with anything, we have great pros, but there are also some cons of these extended warranties.

72
00:05:18,061 --> 00:05:20,371
And I don't mean cons like the type that are going to jail.

73
00:05:20,371 --> 00:05:23,851
I mean, just things that maybe you hadn't thought about.

74
00:05:24,151 --> 00:05:26,821
And the first one is this cost versus value.

75
00:05:27,271 --> 00:05:29,401
Extended warranties can be expensive.

76
00:05:29,701 --> 00:05:32,851
Often adding a substantial percentage to the original purchase price.

77
00:05:33,061 --> 00:05:40,321
I remember checking out at Walmart one time we were buying a new toaster and the checkout person said, Hey, would you like to buy the extended warranty?

78
00:05:40,321 --> 00:05:41,911
I think the toaster was 10 bucks.

79
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,821
And she said, would you like to buy the extended warranty on this toaster?

80
00:05:44,821 --> 00:05:45,691
It's $5.

81
00:05:46,051 --> 00:05:46,831
I said, wow.

82
00:05:46,921 --> 00:05:50,131
So for 50% of the cost, I can get an extended warranty.

83
00:05:50,401 --> 00:05:53,221
But for a $10 toaster, didn't make a lot of sense to me.

84
00:05:53,671 --> 00:05:58,501
In many cases, the cost of the warranty may exceed the potential repair or replacement expenses.

85
00:05:58,711 --> 00:06:04,291
Like I talked about with the toaster, if the extended warranties $5 and a toaster was $10.

86
00:06:04,291 --> 00:06:10,711
Now, maybe I need to think about where I'm buying toasters that only cost 10 bucks, but didn't make a lot of sense in that case.

87
00:06:10,891 --> 00:06:11,641
The second thing.

88
00:06:12,031 --> 00:06:14,311
You got to look at the limitations and exclusions.

89
00:06:14,611 --> 00:06:16,981
Extended warranties often come with fine print.

90
00:06:17,011 --> 00:06:19,231
Sometimes the fine print is 10 pages long.

91
00:06:19,321 --> 00:06:20,401
Nobody reads that.

92
00:06:20,701 --> 00:06:24,911
Certain type of damage such as water damage or normal wear and tear may be excluded.

93
00:06:24,911 --> 00:06:27,841
So if you bought that extended warranty for your smartphone.

94
00:06:28,051 --> 00:06:33,391
You better check the fine print and make sure if you drop it in your neighbor's swimming pool, it's going to be covered.

95
00:06:33,391 --> 00:06:34,531
Cause it might not be.

96
00:06:34,951 --> 00:06:38,761
And number three, it's unnecessary for reliable devices.

97
00:06:39,031 --> 00:06:47,401
If you're purchasing a high quality, reliable electronic device, the likelihood of needing major repairs within the extended warranty period may be low.

98
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:49,201
I may counter that a little bit.

99
00:06:49,351 --> 00:06:51,091
When we get to my personal story.

100
00:06:51,901 --> 00:06:53,611
Now, here are some actionable steps.

101
00:06:53,611 --> 00:06:58,381
I always try to give you action items because without action, we haven't accomplished anything.

102
00:06:58,651 --> 00:07:03,631
So here's the first thing I'm going to tell you to do research the device you're buying before making a purchase.

103
00:07:03,871 --> 00:07:10,201
Research the reliability and more importantly, the durability of the electronic device you're considering.

104
00:07:10,621 --> 00:07:15,091
Look at user reviews and expert opinions to gauge the likelihood of needing repairs.

105
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:18,541
With the internet, you can go Google just about anything.

106
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:25,501
So maybe when I was buying that toaster at Walmart, I would have been better off to do a Google review, but again, for 10 bucks, I'm not sure.

107
00:07:25,501 --> 00:07:26,791
I would have spent a lot of time on it.

108
00:07:27,001 --> 00:07:27,631
Second thing.

109
00:07:28,021 --> 00:07:34,201
Compare your warranty costs evaluate the cost of the extended warranty in relation to the devices price.

110
00:07:34,471 --> 00:07:39,901
As I talked about with the toaster, if the warranty costs five bucks and the toaster was only $10.

111
00:07:40,151 --> 00:07:41,431
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

112
00:07:41,611 --> 00:07:45,331
So you got to determine if the potential savings justify the upfront expense.

113
00:07:45,721 --> 00:07:46,621
Number three.

114
00:07:46,681 --> 00:07:53,521
And I've said this before, and that's read the fine print, carefully review the terms and conditions of the extended warranty.

115
00:07:53,881 --> 00:07:55,621
Pay attention to what is covered.

116
00:07:55,831 --> 00:08:04,921
What's excluded and any deductibles or service fees actually had this happen to me about 25 years ago, I bought a 60 inch big screen TV.

117
00:08:04,921 --> 00:08:05,221
Yep.

118
00:08:05,311 --> 00:08:07,801
That was back when it was like a piece of furniture in your house.

119
00:08:08,101 --> 00:08:10,911
And I remember buying it from this Big TV place, right?

120
00:08:11,211 --> 00:08:11,511
And.

121
00:08:11,811 --> 00:08:13,611
And they're checking out and I think the TV.

122
00:08:13,761 --> 00:08:14,391
I don't hold me to this.

123
00:08:14,421 --> 00:08:15,891
I think it was around $2,500.

124
00:08:16,131 --> 00:08:18,831
You know, now that same TV would be about quarter of the price.

125
00:08:19,341 --> 00:08:24,351
But the guy says, Hey, you want to buy an extended warranty because there's guns in there cannons in there, they do this, they do that.

126
00:08:24,621 --> 00:08:26,121
And I said, yeah, that's a great idea.

127
00:08:26,121 --> 00:08:27,501
Let me buy that extended warranty.

128
00:08:27,861 --> 00:08:36,201
And I want to say the extended warranty was $300 and they said, Hey, you know what, if you buy this extended warranty, we're also gonna throw in free setup and delivery.

129
00:08:36,201 --> 00:08:37,581
I said, that's fantastic.

130
00:08:37,881 --> 00:08:41,751
So I bought the extended warranty, got the thing all set up in my house.

131
00:08:42,051 --> 00:08:45,261
And then about six weeks later, the store closed.

132
00:08:45,681 --> 00:08:47,031
So then I said, what am I going to do?

133
00:08:47,061 --> 00:08:48,861
So I pulled up paperwork and guess what?

134
00:08:49,191 --> 00:08:55,491
I was out of luck because that extended warranty was only covered by that particular retailer.

135
00:08:55,671 --> 00:08:58,581
So that's why you've got to read the fine print now, fortunately.

136
00:08:58,851 --> 00:09:02,661
That thing stayed around like a piece of furniture and we carted it from house to house.

137
00:09:02,931 --> 00:09:05,871
Truth is I think I paid movers more than what the TV was worth.

138
00:09:06,441 --> 00:09:08,751
Another thing you need to look at is your usage.

139
00:09:09,021 --> 00:09:13,461
Think about how heavily you rely on the device and the potential impact of a malfunction.

140
00:09:13,821 --> 00:09:19,431
If it's crucial for your work or daily life an extended warranty may provide valuable peace of mind.

141
00:09:19,431 --> 00:09:22,311
Like I said, we all are tied to the cell phones.

142
00:09:22,521 --> 00:09:27,081
So you might want to think about apple care or some kind of extended warranty on your thing.

143
00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:30,591
And ultimately here's the deal folks you got to trust in God.

144
00:09:31,011 --> 00:09:34,341
You got to ultimately remember that our security lies God not in.

145
00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:35,571
Material possessions.

146
00:09:35,931 --> 00:09:37,701
So don't fret about these things.

147
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:40,731
Don't make them the center of your decision making process.

148
00:09:41,091 --> 00:09:44,391
Pray for wisdom and discernment when making financial decisions.

149
00:09:44,811 --> 00:09:47,991
And I say this about everything and trust that he'll provide for your needs.

150
00:09:48,591 --> 00:09:56,751
Now let's talk about my personal situation, my personal thing that I went through, and I'm a case of my smartphone purchase after weighing the pros and cons.

151
00:09:56,901 --> 00:09:58,911
Now, remember, this is my first smartphone purchase.

152
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:02,181
Back in the day when it was the old star tech flip phone.

153
00:10:02,181 --> 00:10:05,811
If I remember correctly, And I decided to forego that extended warranty.

154
00:10:06,261 --> 00:10:11,421
I trusted the quality of the device and felt the added cost wasn't justifiable for my situation.

155
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:13,521
So instead I chose to set aside the money.

156
00:10:13,521 --> 00:10:17,151
I would've spent on a warranty and I don't remember how much the warranty was at the time.

157
00:10:17,361 --> 00:10:19,611
I want to say it was about 20, $30 a month.

158
00:10:19,911 --> 00:10:23,361
And I put that money into a separate savings account for future repairs or replacements.

159
00:10:23,661 --> 00:10:24,861
If they were ever needed.

160
00:10:25,731 --> 00:10:27,291
Well, that's what I was planning to do.

161
00:10:27,741 --> 00:10:29,541
Until I bought my next iPhone.

162
00:10:30,351 --> 00:10:34,611
and I've been an apple user for a long time, and I decided not to buy that apple care.

163
00:10:34,971 --> 00:10:39,681
What a mistake that became when I had an issue with the glass in the back of the phone.

164
00:10:39,831 --> 00:10:41,871
If you've got an apple phone, you know what I'm talking about?

165
00:10:42,111 --> 00:10:44,661
That back piece on your phone is made of glass.

166
00:10:44,661 --> 00:10:47,841
Well, this one day we were traveling to visit my son in Texas.

167
00:10:48,141 --> 00:10:50,751
And I looked down at my phone and the back of it was shattered.

168
00:10:51,291 --> 00:10:51,531
So I.

169
00:10:51,771 --> 00:10:54,711
Called right away to Verizon was my carrier at the time.

170
00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:57,201
And I said, Hey, my apple phone is broken.

171
00:10:57,361 --> 00:10:58,501
what do we need to do to fix it?

172
00:10:58,501 --> 00:11:00,811
And they said, well, you know, you don't have coverage.

173
00:11:00,841 --> 00:11:01,261
I said, what you mean?

174
00:11:01,291 --> 00:11:01,951
I don't have coverage?

175
00:11:02,011 --> 00:11:03,511
Well, you're going to go to the apple store.

176
00:11:03,991 --> 00:11:05,851
I said, okay, well I need my phone.

177
00:11:06,151 --> 00:11:07,801
So went to the apple store.

178
00:11:08,731 --> 00:11:10,411
Very nice people waiting on me there.

179
00:11:10,411 --> 00:11:11,911
And they said, okay, Mr.

180
00:11:11,911 --> 00:11:15,541
Ralph, we've got your phone here and we can repair this.

181
00:11:15,571 --> 00:11:18,271
And, uh, we looked and it doesn't look at you added AppleCare.

182
00:11:18,781 --> 00:11:21,451
I said, no, I really didn't think that was necessary at the time.

183
00:11:22,201 --> 00:11:24,901
So the kind lady she says, that's are we going to fix your phone?

184
00:11:24,931 --> 00:11:26,131
It'll be $400.

185
00:11:27,031 --> 00:11:28,021
And I looked around for a minute.

186
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:29,731
I said $400.

187
00:11:30,121 --> 00:11:31,981
I said, how much is this phone new?

188
00:11:32,401 --> 00:11:34,621
Well, I already knew the answer because I bought the thing.

189
00:11:34,621 --> 00:11:37,531
I'm one of these people that gets the new iPhone every year.

190
00:11:37,771 --> 00:11:40,561
And I think the price of the iPhone was up to about $1,200.

191
00:11:40,561 --> 00:11:41,851
So I was faced with a dilemma.

192
00:11:42,451 --> 00:11:48,271
I had a iPhone that cost $1,200 to replace, or do I pay the $400 to fix it?

193
00:11:48,811 --> 00:11:50,341
Well, here's the funny part of the story.

194
00:11:50,821 --> 00:11:52,501
So I said to the lady, okay, that's fine.

195
00:11:52,561 --> 00:11:54,661
You know, I need to go ahead and pay for this.

196
00:11:54,661 --> 00:11:55,651
I need to get it fixed.

197
00:11:55,861 --> 00:11:57,691
And she goes, all right, well, let me give you a replacement phone.

198
00:11:58,561 --> 00:12:00,031
And I said, what do you mean you're going to make a replacement.

199
00:12:00,031 --> 00:12:00,571
You're not gonna fix her.

200
00:12:00,571 --> 00:12:01,801
She goes, we can't fix those.

201
00:12:02,371 --> 00:12:03,451
At the time, maybe they could.

202
00:12:03,451 --> 00:12:04,641
I don't remember honest to God truth.

203
00:12:04,671 --> 00:12:05,301
I'm not sure.

204
00:12:06,231 --> 00:12:10,521
But they actually gave me another phone and I said, well, how could I protect myself better?

205
00:12:10,911 --> 00:12:13,431
She goes well, if you had bought AppleCare, you would have come in.

206
00:12:13,431 --> 00:12:14,571
I would have handed you a new phone.

207
00:12:14,571 --> 00:12:16,911
You paid a deductible and you would've been on your, on your way.

208
00:12:17,991 --> 00:12:30,471
So the moral of the story is now I always add apple care to all of my apple devices right at the time of purchase, I do this not only based on the cost of repair, but also the importance of the devices in my business.

209
00:12:30,771 --> 00:12:32,271
I buy it on my iPad.

210
00:12:32,271 --> 00:12:33,291
On my iPhone.

211
00:12:33,591 --> 00:12:35,271
I have an apple studio computer.

212
00:12:35,271 --> 00:12:36,531
I've got two monitors.

213
00:12:36,741 --> 00:12:38,661
They all carry that AppleCare.

214
00:12:39,051 --> 00:12:41,331
Now that doesn't mean that Apple's a bad product.

215
00:12:41,631 --> 00:12:44,961
I think apple is a fantastic product, but I'm all in for apple.

216
00:12:45,621 --> 00:12:52,761
But I recognize the value of how much those devices cost and how truly expensive it is to fix them.

217
00:12:52,941 --> 00:12:56,871
But more importantly, how mission critical they are in my everyday life.

218
00:12:57,381 --> 00:12:59,151
So let's recap a bit today.

219
00:12:59,151 --> 00:13:03,951
We've explored the complex question of whether to buy an extended warranty on electronic devices.

220
00:13:04,191 --> 00:13:10,221
We discussed the pros such as peace of mind to potential savings and the cons including cost versus value.

221
00:13:10,461 --> 00:13:13,431
And you learn not to buy the $10 toaster at Walmart.

222
00:13:13,701 --> 00:13:22,321
We also outline actionable steps to help you make an informed decision, such as researching a device, comparing costs and considering your usage..

223
00:13:22,341 --> 00:13:27,171
Remember this folks as Christians, we're called to be wise stewards of our resources.

224
00:13:27,501 --> 00:13:29,361
It's kind of the focus of this whole program.

225
00:13:29,751 --> 00:13:32,841
By prayerfully considering our choices in seeking God's guidance.

226
00:13:33,111 --> 00:13:35,901
We can navigate financial decisions with confidence.
