Keep Rewarding Yourself For Not Smoking
Now that you aren't buying cigarettes, you probably have more spending money. For example, if you used to smoke one pack per day:
| After | You've saved |
|---|---|
| 1 day | $5 |
| 1 week | $35 |
| 1 month | $150 |
| 1 year | $1,820 |
| 10 years | $18,200 |
| 20 years | $36,400 |
* Prices are based on a 2001 average of $5.00 per pack. The cost of a pack of cigarettes may differ, depending on where you buy them.
Think about starting a "money jar" if you haven't already. Put your cigarette money aside for each day you don't smoke. Soon you'll have enough money to buy a reward for yourself.
