- SUMMARY
Household appliances are becoming more advanced and expensive, but unfortunately, they’re not lasting as long as they used to.
Homeowners are now buying appliances more frequently, and they’re spending more money on them.
If an appliance breaks down, it’s important to consider how much you can afford to spend on a replacement.
There are options like Buy Now, Pay Later, seasonal sales, and credit cards that offer perks like extended warranties.
By carefully managing your expenses, you can save money on these unexpected costs and avoid overdrawing your account.
