Transportation is one of the biggest expenses for teachers (especially if you don't live in the district you teach in)— but it doesn’t have to drain your paycheck. In this episode of The Teacher Money Show, I break down practical ways to save money on your car, gas, insurance, and commute — without sacrificing reliability or convenience.
Cutting your transportation costs is pretty simple, but that doesn't make it easy! But if you're ready to give it a try, let's dive in!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-How to buy a car wisely — avoid high-interest auto loans and overpriced upgrades.
-Simple maintenance tips to lower vehicle ownership costs and prevent costly repairs.
-Smart ways to save on gas, including carpooling, loyalty apps, and route planning.
-The best strategies to shop around for cheaper auto insurance and maximize educator discounts.
-How to rethink car ownership with biking, walking, or public transit — and why less driving can mean more wealth.
Remember to choose one strategy and just go with it, then move on to the next. Incremental wins are the most permanent.
