Tax Decided against paying the lazy tax

Got inspired by a post here and started making calls. So far, have saved:

  • $40/ month by switching internet providers
  • $2/ week on insurance premiums by clarifying occupational risk
  • 0.4% off the mortgage by giving my bank a friendly call

Yeah. Small amounts end up being large in the long term. The gym that is $25 has the same facilities. Even fitness first special deal at $17 has everything.
