make all but the most r eckless
spenders a little anxious. And just as
you’re getting up the nerve to plunk
down your credit card, you’ll probably
be faced with the big question: Do you
want the extended warranty?
If you’re nervous at the prospect of los-
ing your laptop to an untimely defect or
wayward cup of coffee, your first instinct
may be to say yes. But the worth of an
additional warranty depends on many
factors. Here’s what to consider before
you buy:
1. Read the fine print. Check out the
ter ms and conditions of the warranty
before you pay for it. Some policies are
quite restrictive and cover only certain
defects, so you could be stuck paying the
bill if an excluded part breaks. Other poli-
cies might require you to ship the product

Fewer Oil
Changes Needed
The day of the 3,000-mile oil
change routine disappeared
some years ago, but some
picky vehicle owners still stick
by it. Others are still changing
oil at the 5,000-mile mark.
New research conducted by
Edmunds.com shows changing
that often does little more
than put money in your
mechanic’s pocket. Oil chem-
istry and engineering technol-
ogy have come a long way.
The researchers found that
the recommended mileage
between oil changes for newer
cars averages 7,800 miles.
Over time, that could save you
a lot of money. And time.
Career File: Get that Promotion!
Career coaches at New York's Stratex
Consulting say individuals have to take
responsibility for their own future promo-
tions. The higher up the ladder they are,
the more important it is to prove them-
selves worthy in the next six months.
Let your supervisor know of your ambi-
tion and get support, says Roy Cohen,
author of The Wall Street Professional's
Survival Guide. Focus on your aspirations,
but frame them in terms of what your
boss wants to accomplish. Ask what the
boss's goals are and make it clear you
want to help achieve them.
At the same time, find out if there are
any gaps in your skills that could be
addressed. Request a performance feed-
back every few months.
Step up to execute one of your boss's
goals. Offer to lead a project or present
ideas on cost-savings, which are basic to
advancement in any economy. Use your
unique knowledge if you know an area
very well. Devise a plan to make your
boss succeed.
Cultivate relationships in other depart-
ments and expand your sphere of
influence, say experts at NYC
career coaching firm
SixFigureStart.
Promote your efforts.
Send periodic reports to
your manager high-
lighting your sup-
port on a project or
how you moved a pro-
gram forward, say advi-
sors at Square Peg Solution
of Ontario. And ask col-
leagues who are happy with
your work to email your manager.

anyone he meets - as long as he
keeps taking the untested drug.
Soon Eddie takes Wall Street by

into millions. His accomplish-
ments catch the eye of mega-

help broker the largest merger
in corporate history. But they
also bring Eddie to the attention
of people willing to do anything
to get their hands on his stash
of NZT.
