I work hard. Really, really hard. But thankfully working for a corporate giant has it's perks--and I take full advantage of them all. If you work for a large company, you may be missing out on great opportunities to save a lot of extra cash.
For example, one of my favorite past times is going to the museums. The MoMA, one of my favorite museums, is $20 as is the Met; the Brooklyn Museum is $10; the Guggenheim is $18 and the Museum of Natural History is $16. Through my company, I can get free admission which can save me up to $50 per month.
My employee card has also granted me discounts at the gym, Broadway shows, parking, cell phone service, hotels, car rentals and a host of other things that I wouldn't have thought to use my employee card for (even coat check at the museum!). Just last year alone, I was able to save over $300 using my employee discounts. I like to consider it as a salary augmentation. Lol. I just found out that government employees also get a discount at my gym too, so it doesn't just apply to people who work at large corporations.
What discounts are you missing out on? Check with your employer (and the organizations you belong to) to see how you could save some cash.
