quit tip - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Buy a New Car?

Start a money jar with the money you save by not buying cigarettes. Every day, put your tobacco dollars in the jar. You might find that jar filling up faster than you'd ever imagined. A pack-a-day smoker invests about $150 per month in their addiction, or $1,800 a year. Do you smoke two packs a day? Double that to $300 each month! What kind of car could you afford with that amount of cash?

Hope it helps!
I have thought of this, but, never have the discipline to keep that money put aside. There is always something. Yet, NOTHING ever got in the way of buying my ciggies! Go figure?!?
Shalom!
