Money in my pocket...

[action]

Not a lot, but some.

 

On Saturday I took out £20 just for 'whatever'. It's Thursday and I still have £16.77. If I was smoking I would have £0, and would have taken even more out of the bank... Never had cash that wasn't earmarked for smokes before!

 

Maybe I will have a nice lunch tomorrow, or just wonder in to town and buy myself something, or a gift for someone else. Maybe I'll keep the money in my pocket, or put it in a jar for a rainy day. Or I could go for a few drinks with a friend... I am free to do with it as I wish.

 

Being a non-smoker is awesome :d

Freedom is indeed priceless!~...............................................

I stopped trying to figure out how much I've saved by not smoking because my ticker doesn't keep track any longer.  I know it's a lot, I smoked a lot.  It doesn't even matter if you smoked a pack every other day as opposed to my 2-ish.  All that matters is it is yours to save, spend or give away.  At least now, I don't feel like I'm setting fire to a pile of money!

Yes, exactly! And I could set fire to it if I felt like it!! At least it would be by choice and not because I 'had to'... Except I think it is illegal to burn something with the queens head on it lol

Good for you ross,

It's a sin when you think of how much we did spend on smokes......

Treat yourself......

[SueBeDoo]

It's great isn't it, I am loving spending more on my babies, if they wanted something before I'd have to say no and feel terrible cos I wouldn't have the money now its lovely to have the extra few bob for lil treats, go treat yourself to something nice hun xx

[Trish]

Good for you, Ross.  I am saving for some new sneakers.  Right now I have hand me downs from one of my step daughters.  They are pretty worn out and starting to hurt my feet.  Hopefully get a pair this weekend.

No burning up liz, I'm sure that should be treason ;)

 

Chuffed for you action, I still can't keep hold of money but I blame the cute kids and treats in the shop.  The money goes on pointless treats now and I love that I rarely have to say no - so same thing.  

 

I think you should go into town and blow the lot :)

I go to town at the weekends, sometimes  :P

[Still winning]

haha, ross, go to the pub if that works better?

[Leanna]

I got some money back after I filed my taxes. Usually I'd be jumping for joy because I could buy my cigarettes AND food, but now I'm just happy I can go shopping. 

 

I took some of the money and bought a laptop! My old one was horrible and wouldn't have worked for my schooling.

 

It's nice to have that freedom, isn't it?

[Melody]

I swear all my extra money is going into healthy foods. I've traded one vice for another. At least the other is healthy and not killing me :)

[Melody]

Ross do something special for the wife :) A surprise night out for dinner.

[JackiMac]

Its amazing how much longer the money lasts in your pocket, good for you Ross go and treat yourself and your lovely wife to something nice xx

[Nancy]

I am still just amazed by how much more money I have, now.  And I have treated myself a lot...and still have more!!

[Becca]

I bought a car and have most of the car payment paid from the money I don't burn up smoking.  Isn't it great!

[Tink]

i hope you did something good for yourself - live for the moment my friend even if it buying ben and jerrys and eating the whole tub just for yourself

[ChristaC]

I saved over $2300, and I have only ONE question:

 

Where the heck is it?

 

I just want to know how I was able to blow (yes, literally BLOW) all of that money? It's not like it's 'LEFT OVER' now that I don't buy smokes any more. What did I do with it????

 

:D

[Sarah]

If I have money in my 'pocket' it gets spent! I'd come home with a new skirt or top or knickers or something!

 

Although I think my guess of how much money I'm saving was wrong as I seem to have loads more money than I used to!

[Soberjulie]

Ross, isn't it the craziest, coolest thing??

I used to always be searching my car/pockets/purse/night table for money for smokes.

Now I carry money around for ages :)
