jake5270's blog post - A small change

Since I've been retired, I have been dumping things I don't need to save money, since I'm now on a fixed budget.

A couple of examples are:

I switched from AT&T to Consumer Cellular for my phone and I'm saving about $40.00 a month.

I dropped OnStar. It was $36.00 a month, but AAA costs $83.00 a year.

One thing that's been bugging me is having to put a little air in a couple of tires about every two weeks.

I have aluminum rims on my car and they seem to seep out a little air over time.

I started to look around for a portable air compressor, since I've grown tired of spending $2.00 every two weeks for air at the service station to top off my tires.

I found one on Amazon for $30.00 that should fit the bill.

It plugs into the cigarette lighter on my car and inflates a tire in about a minute.

I looked at several, comparing size and price and am going with this one, since it is also highly rated by customers.

$30.00 one time payout is much better than bleeding out $2.00 at a time, over $100.00 a year.

Where there's a will, there's a way.
