I am sure you have good intentions, but unless there is some sort of driveability issue, the work is a suggestion by the car maker and not an absolute "must do" thing. Change the oil and filter, keep the tires aired up and by all means if there is a driveability issue, address it straightaway, but fixing what is not broken, especially with a tight budget, is possibly going to be problematic.
