Spare keys Can Save You Money (Or Being Prepared For life’s Hurdles)
Have you ever locked your self out of your car? How about lose the keys to your house? If you have, then you know how much of an inconvenience it can be, not to mention how much money it can cost. With a little preparation you can save yourself the headache and a few bucks. Having spare keys is simple, inexpensive and should only make sense.
I learned this the hard way a few years ago when I lost all my keys. I was out shopping when it happened and could not get into my car, house, and a few other private places I needed keys to open. The taxi ride home, a locksmith to open my house, and taxi ride back was over $100 and I still had to buy spare keys to replace to ones I lost. Needless to say it was not a good day. I have since learned my lesson and am ready if this was to every happen again.
A little safety advice: Don’t hide your spare key above the door frame or in one of those fake rocks as this is one of the first places a thief would look. Instead trade keys with your spouse, family or trusted friend. I keep the spare key to my car wrapped in plastic and taped to a metal rod under my car and it has come in handy more than a few times. You would really have to be searching for it to find it. I am sure you can come up with better places to keep your spare.
It is not just about having spare keys, but how being prepared can save you money in many aspects of your life. I guess the lesson here is to try and be ready for life’s little hurdles.
