As a member of a household where money is very tight, I can tell you that an unexpected repair, such as a broken clothes dryer, is a real hardship. A home protection plan would allow you to plan ahead for such emergencies, making it less costly for you to repair or replace some of the major components that are essential to everyday living in your home. As scary as it is to think about not having a functioning laptop or mobile phone, think about what it would be like to not have a functioning water heater for baths or a working stove to cook your family meals. "Inconvenient" would be a huge understatement.
