The Fact On Money And Smoking In Your Life
By Brian Welsch
Do you still remember how long it has been since you began smoking? Since then have you been able to keep track how many sticks of cigarettes you have had each day? Did you know that there is a very big correlation between money and smoking? This is an actual fact that many smokers fail to acknowledge.
When speaking of money and smoking it does not only pertain to the one-time cost of purchasing a pack of zigs. Let us pretend that a pack would cost around ten dollars (the fact is that it costs much more depending on the state that it was bought). Pretend that you consume an average of ten sticks each day. That would come down to about five dollars each day. If you have been smoking for one whole year, you would have spent a total of one thousand eight hundred and twenty five dollars. Imagine that amount. You could have been able to buy six of the top of the line mobile phones. You could have also been able to purchase new gadgets like an MP3 player, a mini notebook or a new game console. With this money, you could even afford to go and take one of those dream vacations that you have been thinking about for months or years.
This time, let us pretend that you have been consuming the same average amount of cigarettes in a day for the same approximated cost. Let us say that you have been smoking for ten whole years. You would have spent a total of eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty dollars. Wrap your brain around that much money. Imagine the number of different items that you could get with that. If you spend that money on gadgets, you will have sixty different high-tech gadgets like mobile phones, laptops, and other media devices. You could get the same number of designer clothes, bags and shoes – all for the average amount of three hundred dollars per item. You could even use it to buy a great used car plus the insurance cost. Perhaps even use it for a new one.
It is time that you open your eyes regardless if you have been smoking for quite a while or is tempted to take this up as a hobby that will eventually turn in to a very nasty habit. Thinking about money and smoking is not a joking matter. We are talking about serious dough here. It may be a common thought that you would not be able to save this much money even when you are not smoking. Before you think about these, think about it this way; pretend that there is a large mason jar inside your room. Think about the idea that you are dropping five dollars each day inside that jar. Before you even know it, you would have a hefty amount of cash inside that jar that you can use at your disposal. To think that we are only discussing the cost of approximated average costs without buying a lighter or matchbox to get you going. At this point, it would be much easier to convince you if you begin to compute these same factors using actual figures that are applicable to you.
