Just quit smoking. Was almost 2 packs a day for the last few years. It's day 13 and I've already saved about $200. Anyone else have stories of expensive hobbies or habits?

>> No.13509698

Yeah, I stopped buying brand name shit and do all my shopping at Aldi. I dunno how much I've saved but I'm sure its significant.

>> No.13509710

How do you find time to smoke 2 packs a day? Would you go every 5 mins to be able to smoke 50 cigs in a 12 hour period?

I smoked a lot of pot for 12 years and cigarettes and did coke on and off I miss those days

Yeah roughly every 5 to 10 minutes. I make enough passive income to have the free time of someone unemployed, but for me all that free time led me to smoking more.

I live like an absolute jew cunt, maybe spend 6-10 AUD a day on dinner, but all groceries at Aldi or cheap asian grocers.
But I collect vinyl records, have a 33 year old V8 car I work on, I'm getting lessons to ride a motorcycle. i was into diving but it's fucking expensive, and I could never find a friend to do it with, so i sort of gave it up. However today I was chatting to a 19 year old QT at work who wants a dive buddy so looks I'm gonna need to spend a bit on gear hire.

Masturbation, that shit cost me dreams, hopes and aspirations for years.

Kicked the habit and now on the way to being the first human to set foot on mars.

Hookers.

Alcohol, Cigarettes, and Fast Food. Those are my 3 vices and they cost me a lot. Here's my averages over the last few months:

Alcohol: $150 a month
Cigarettes: $120 a month
Fast Food: $300 a month

Starting this month, I'm trying to cut down my spending by 20% on all 3 categories. And then next month I might try to cut back even more. But we'll see how it goes.
