October 19, 20178 yr I had a fabulous holiday in New York...would never have done that if I was still smoking..Fabulous hotel,good food,not counting the money being spent at all. Your turn !!!
October 19, 20178 yr I bought some pretty expensive but excellent skin care products plus clothes and shoes galore. I've spent far more than I've saved from not smoking but I've also gained so much more than money savings from quitting!
October 19, 20178 yr I save over $5400/Yr. not smoking ($11.91 per pack!!!). I just bought new living room furniture this month. Last year I did a 2 week trip to Kauai. Those are some pretty nice perks....but the health benefits outweigh all of that.
October 19, 20178 yr Turned the basement into a gym. Power rack. Olympic bar. Plates. Dumbbells. Heavy bag. Speed bag. Double-end bag. And I just recently added a full set of kettlebells. Also bought a new canoe. Because you can never have too many canoes. Boo and stewie bought internet porn I already had that budgeted before I quit smoking. I go for the premium content because I'm a classy guy.
October 19, 20178 yr Wow..good on ya Boo...you have turned your life around .. I was in a cutting phase that week.
October 19, 20178 yr Boo and stewie bought internet porn Reptard told on them Screw you! Love you though...
October 19, 20178 yr Pfffft.... Clearly you haven't watched internet porn since AOL 2.0.... All free now
October 19, 20178 yr Pfffft.... Clearly you haven't watched internet porn since AOL 2.0.... All free now Nobody pays for porn anymore, yet they keep producing it. Love of the arts?
October 19, 20178 yr Can't say I have bought anything solely because of quitting. The wife has a pretty good handle on what's available to spend and makes sure nothing lays around too long. She's a firm believer in "you can't take it with you!!" :D By the way BKP, Kauai is my fav. Island. Napali Coast is a real treasure to explore - spectacular!!
October 19, 20178 yr Like Reciprocity...quitting didnt actually pay for stuff, but because i quit, we can afford to do more... trip to Florida a couple times... a few trips to the Outer Banks, N.C. ...(my new favorite spot) and last, but certainly not least....my new toy!!!
October 20, 20178 yr Sarge & Mrs. Sarge continue to fund (every year) 40 to 60 days in various mountain ranges, cliffs, crags, and other high places to Climb, Rappel, Hike, Camp, get drunk, have tent-sex, make S'mores, cook on an open fire, get devoured by mosquitos, watch the stars, sleep under The Big Sky ... each and every year. As well as Entry Fee and lodging for 2 or 3 Marathons ( although Sarge confesses to dropping back to Half Marathons in his old age these days). Same as it ever was. 6 years running now. EZPZ
October 20, 20178 yr My wife and I used to do something special every month when we first quit. Then later, every 3 months. Now, we do not do anything special with the money we have saved from smoking, we just live, but we live better economically than we did before as smokers. Cristóbal
