These days, so many retailers try to win over customers by offering products with lifetime benefits, but what exactly does lifetime imply? I cam across a post in a popular social networking site that "lifetime" may be tomorrow, months from now, or a few years from now... so it's important to make the most of every passing day. Indeed, telling other people that they can have lifetime use of a gym or other facility may seem like there's a good deal there, but when you think about it, just when will "lifetime" last? Have you ever given thought to just how many years more you'll live? Or what things you really want to do you still haven't done?

I guess it lasts until the company goes out of business, you forget about the product or you die. Ha ha, no seriously, I never come across stuff like that. What was it?
The only thing I have like that is my T.I.V.O. box. The contract that I paid for is good for the life of the box. So when the box blows up, so does my one time payment ha ha.

For most comapnies a life time is 20 years. Which to me, is a very short life time. Most people live what, at least 70 years? But the life time on their products are less than half of what their life time is! And it depends on the product too. Like the life time on a computer is like three years, a cell phone is one year, some kitchen applences are thirty years. It's all confusing when you read the fine print on those warrenties or deals.
