​Tip Store: Health: Quit Smoking


​Happier, Healthier and Wealthier

​By deciding to ‘get healthy' and quit smoking we now have the extra money for perhaps a new car, a holiday or just to put on the mortgage! While sitting down one evening and calculating our budget for the year we had the biggest shock of our lives. We were spending at least $40.00 a DAY on smokes. That works out to be $280 a week some weeks! In one year with no smoking we are saving, based on $40.00 a day - get ready for it - $14,600! Oh my gosh! I can't believe it took me this long to actually sit down and work out all the money we were wasting polluting ourselves and everyone else. It has only been three weeks since we quit but already I can see the extra money. Patches for the 2 of us only cost $55 for 2 boxes of the Chemists own brand which saves us $10.00 each box. Anyone else out there who needs motivating into quitting should look at how much we are saving already and what we will be saving for the rest of the year! PS. My brothers have finally stopped bugging me to quit too! Contributed by Kaye, Dianella, March 21st 2005
