I think the easiest one is just to call around to different insurance providers, especially for car insurance or home insurance, and try to just get them to compete with another car insurance company for a different quote. That can save you a lot of money just off the bat through a phone call, right? That's something you can do. You can call Comcast every 6 months to a year, say you're about to cancel. They'll always give you a better rate or a better promotional rate. Not all the time, but most of the time. There's so many little hacks like that. Like, I remember Adobe Photoshop, every time you go into the portal and you click cancel, they always give you an offer. Oh my God. It's like, hey, have 2 months free. You're like, all right. And then you Wait 3 months, you do it again. But you can't even cancel. You have to like call them. Oh no. These days they have like a lot of retention offers to get you to stay. I think you have a lot more leverage, more than you think as a consumer. And so you should be trying to leverage that in different situations. That's the best one I can really think of off the top of my head. Besides like credit card points. But that's a controversial topic.
