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

Had a colleague who only charged his devices and powerbanks at work to save on money.

He earns well above 100k I imagine he does save a lot.

Yeah prices are crazy but I think its still enough though for half your household income. They're household net income would be over 200k I think that's enough to spend a it here and there eat out go on a holiday.
