Weekly Hump Day Update-Shoe Insurance

As we are all aware times are tough in this economy. People are losing their jobs at an alarming rate and we have all had to cut back in one way or another. Gas prices are rising, a gallon of milk is over $3, and god forbid should we buy ourselves a cup of coffee in the morning because we feel guilty to spend that extra $2 on something we really don't need.

I like many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. After rent, utilities, car, gas, cell phone, school loans, there just never seems to be anything leftover!! andddd that's just the necessities...I haven't even EATEN yet!!! Soooo add groceries, and a credit card bill that I use because you know that your brakes, and 4 new tires that need to be put on your car never come at an appropriate time.... and just bare essentials that we need in life like toilet paper, shampoo, soap, woman's products, etc. I Look at all of this and wonder if I live to work rather then working to live. Which is it??!!!Now for the running community we have found something that can help our feet while saving money in our our pockets. Sports Authority now offers a $10 extended warranty insurance plan on shoes up to $100...the shoe MUST be replaced within 1 year of the purchase date in order for the warranty to be valid. I replace my shoes about every 500 miles so it definately comes in handy!
***NOTE: Sports Authority offers the warranty plan from $4.99-$15.99, it just depends on the price of your shoe. Anything over $100 I believe is $15.99. That is still a great deal when you are paying $130 for running shoes every 6weeks!!

How do they make money??? Pretty simple: they figure people will just forget that they have the warranty or just won't be bothered a year down the road to go back.. I definitely think that this is your best bet for purchasing a running shoe for $10 insurance.

Quote of the Day

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."
