Good morning all. I am inspired today and so happy to not smoke, and what better way to continue the path to freedom's best feelings than to celebrate something special about being quit.... Very Happy

Seriously, I checked my quit meter this morning and was amazed to see I have now saved over $5,000.00 not smoking in just over one year. That's 5 grand I have not burned up and wasted (not to mention made myself sick with). So it feels pretty good in spite of the fact that I don't know where it all went - I'm sure I have spent most of it on things I probably would have done without in order to smoke if I were still smoking. Embarassed

So here's to money saved - a great motivational tool - so how much money have you saved not smoking?

I so love not smoking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$7,258.56!

I don't know where the bulk of it went, but I know some of it went to a few nice restaurants, "just because" gifts and a treat or 2 for myself! Whee!!

Mine says $3715.80, which is odd since I thought I used NYC prices. So, I'll double it at $7,430!!!

Mine definately went to food and wine. No doubt. Shocked Wink

Congrats on your freedom! Cool

Wow!!!....$908.77....almost a thousand! And some of it went for a laptap, and just "other stuff" of living....(in other words, not a clue where I spent it Laughing Laughing )

But it feels good knowing the money was well spent wherever it went Wink Laughing

And this is at the prices before the recent 50 cent tax per pack increase a month a so ago or there abouts. Probably should update the meter to reflect those changes. Wink It could be over a thousand in that case.

Hugs

According to my Quitkeeper, I've saved $7,483.47. Don't really know where it went but it's sure nice to have a few extra $$ to spend on non-essentials.

We just had gas logs installed in our fireplace (hottest day of the year)-- no more carrying wood in and cleaning out the mess after it burns. There have been other things; just can't think of them right now.

as a rough guess, $10,500. when i quit, my brand was about $5 a pack, and i just multiplied my days free by $5. keep in mind that this doesn't account for the extra cigarettes i'd smoke at the bar, or for the price increases since then (i think they're around $7 in new york nowadays), so it's probably closer to to $12,500.

and no, i don't know where mine went, either... Embarassed

at 5 dollars a pack, it looks like over $2,000.00 dollars so far.....which is incredible.....it is such an incentive for me....since I don't know where it has all gone, I know for sure I couldn't afford to start again.

I'm not really aware of having extra money, but I am conscious of how often I do not go to the ATM. It seems I was stopping almost every day to get money to buy a pack. Now that you've reminded me of that money we are saving, I think I'll go shopping at lunch. Laughing Thanks!
