I’m the sort of person who makes sure to purchase the vacation insurance.
I haven’t used it thus far so maybe I’ve wasted money.
But for the 15 or 20 dollars I spend insuring plane tickets and hotel costs, I get peace of mind. And peace of mind goes a really long way in my life. I’m just really sort of prone to worry. This has a lot to do with how I grew up maybe. My mom was always so worried about my safety, my achievements and what people thought of me. I honestly can’t remember a time where I just saw her relaxing in the air conditioning. There was always something to be wringing her hands over. Maybe that ended up rubbing off on me. I know that I have to actively work to let the little things go. It’s just not worth it. But I’ll catch myself inside the zone controlled HVAC of my office worrying over scenarios that haven’t even happened yet. I really have to stay on top of myself in order to just live each moment and deal with what comes. However, I don’t have to worry at all when it comes to the new HVAC equipment we just had installed. The very first thing I did the day after the new HVAC unit was installed was to call the HVAC company. I signed us up for the HVAC service plan. This means that our new HVAC equipment will get heating maintenance in the fall followed by an air conditioning tune-up in the spring. And I don’t have to worry about calling to make the appointments. The HVAC professionals simply send me an email and I confirm online.
