Man did I get lucky on my new phone! Diving into YouTube today I learned that the big discounts on the Google Pixel 8 Pro have dried up.

I got $600 off this $1,000 phone right off the bat from Spectrum. Add in a $45 trade in on my five year old Galaxy with a green line down the middle, and a $100 bonus for trading in a phone, it ended up costing me $255 bucks! Yea the fed gets it's taxes, about $50, but it would have been the same if not more on the full price.

I'm also fairly confident I can do the setup, app and data transfer from my Samsung, and the sim card swap myself now, which eliminates a drive to the Spectrum store in Columbia. I have a sweet case for it, and a screen protector kit coming on Wednesday.

It pays to have a clear head, and my technical skills developed over 56 years, are still alive and well.
