Oh the Stocks You Can Buy When You're Not Buying Smokes!!!

[Kate18]

Ach, smoking costs so much money. When I quit, I invested money in the stock market that I would have otherwise would have spent on cigarettes. After eight months, I sold them to pay off a credit card. My stocks were up 85%.

 

My friends who are sitting on the fence, it isn't just the health benefits that you reap, it's the financial benefits. Take the money you would have spent on cigarettes and open a brokerage account. Most of them do not charge commissions now. Investigate some basic stocks, like Apple, Paypal, Google, Shopify, Facebook, etc. Get a brokerage that will allow you to buy fractional shares. That means, you can buy $10 of a Facebook stock. You don't have to buy the whole share. 

 

A pack of cigarettes could buy you a fractional share of Tesla. If you want to buy into a new company, check with Jeremy on Financial Education on YouTube. (I hope I'm not breaking any rules here.) 

 

There is so much life to live without cigarettes! If you're hooked on cigarettes, explore getting hooked on investing in stocks or something else for your future! Do you love art? Invest in some brushes and paints and canvasses! 

 

This is just my own success story. Now it's your turn to write yours. Share your story of how you quit smoking and turned your attention to something else that is life-affirming. I'd love to hear from you!
