...take up smoking, -then quit -you'll end up with an extra 175 quid (in your case $) a month in your pocket.

So far so good. I'm just telling myself that not buying smokes at $6.50 a pack, I'm giving myself a nice raise.


Ah-ha...you have discovered the first stressful thing these damn cigarettes create....you left the house and was stressing about your cigarettes! People stress over having enough for the day or enough for the night. So, that is the first thing on the list of why cigarettes create more of an issue for you than they will ever solve. :03:

As far as money saved...you will notice a difference!

You have a long way to go but stay strong don't give in to the cravings, giving up has had a huge impact to my health and well being as well as improved finances!:yeah:
I pass smokers now and after getting a whiff I think to myself "I used to breath that stench in and enjoy it", I was an idiot!!:oops:

Don't show her that site. She'll say that she wants you to take her on vacation since you're rolling in all that dough. :cool:

@$7.00 per pack

You've been free of cigarettes for 986 days, 14 hours, 15 minutes & 11 seconds You have not smoked 26,638 cigarettes since then, and you have saved a total of $9,323.32.




However:



Because I didn't stop until after I had a heart attack which the doctors said smoking was a contributing factor, the medicine I will now have to take for the rest of my life has so far cost me: $2442.00 (my copay)


Net savings: $6881.00
