What to do with the money you have saved?

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 639

I used savings for a combo birthday gift and premature one-year smoke-free prize ...another classic car....an old Mercedes...I love cruising in a smoke-free ride. And carrying and paying for stuff with CASH is so cool!!!!!! I am no longer a slave to nicotine!!!!!

Keep the Quit,

Dave

I gave it to my company after that wage cut. Silly economy! Not a real fun way to spend my money...

I'm going on a trip to Riviera Maya (just south of Cancun) later this year! I went on my first cruise ever last September and loved it!!

These trips couldn't happen if I hadn't quit smoking

Not to mention not having to sit on an airplane for hours worrying about when and where I could sneak my next smoke in! It's so much easier being a non-ex-smoker

My best to all....

I hear you on that one Tabby~I think I ate mine too!

In fact, I think I'm still eating mine.

HOWEVER, I just paid for aqua fitness courses for hubby and I.

Have to admit I had a fabulous summer. So even if I can't actually account for having spent the money, spend it I did indeed.

I'm donating money to my university every month for a scholarship fund. I also rewarded myself with a Tag Heuer watch when I hit one year smoke free. So at the end of this calendar year I'll be about 50% to school and 50% to Tag!
