- You only have to think about a potentially higher electric bill. Now is a good time to inspect your household and disconnect appliances and other electrical equipment you are not currently using or frequently forget to disconnect prior to your commute to work.
- Less frequent fuel trips and fill ups. If you must fill up, at least build excess cash at the pump, apply for a cash back rewards card. Similarly if you were commuting on the smelly bus or railway/subway (and not being reimbursed by your employer), those charges can be saved and reapplied elsewhere.
- At least 1 less oil change. Typically, the average consumer is performing oil changes at least 1 to 4 times per year on their primary vehicle. Since you are remote working from home, these fees can be reapplied elsewhere, such as a mortgage balance or brokerage account.
- No more bad hair days and unreliable umbrellas due to polluted rain and inclement weather!
- Lower auto insurance billing. Major auto insurers are lowering the insurance rate automatically due to commuters being off the road! You can also call your auto insurance provider and let them know you are a remote worker driving for pleasure only, no commuting. Use the savings and potential cash back to apply towards your BlockFi savings account.
- Bonus: No more wasting time in traffic. Use the extra time away from commuting to read, start a side hustle or regain at least 1 hour of extra sleep. Your brain, body and pockets will thank you later.
