Stop Smoking and Start Saving

This post is to encourage those who smoke to stop smoking and start saving.

Stop smoking and start saving

I know people who always complain they don’t have enough money, and people who owe credit card debts. But these people have money to buy cartons of cigarettes!

And I am wondering how they can still buy cigarettes and just ignore those debts or go on without saving in their bank account?

At the time of writing, a pack of 20 cigarettes can easily cost about RM7. If a person smoke one packs a day, he is spending RM49 (RM7 x 7days) a week just for cigarettes alone.

In a year, he is burning away RM2,548. That is provided there is no increment in the cigarettes price.

Wouldn’t it be good if he uses the RM2,548 to settle his debts? Or start saving for his emergency account? Or perhaps start investing that amount in any of the investment options in Malaysia?

That RM2,548 can do a lot of wonder over the years.

Stop smoking and start living a healthy life

I think we all are aware of the dangerous toxins from cigarettes.

If you are smoking, I would like to suggest trying to drop it. If money is not an issue for you, think about the health consequences of smoking.

Smoking is not only not good for your own health but also bring harm to your loved ones such as your parents, spouse and children.

You don’t want to see them suffering from being your second-hand smoker, don’t you?

Final thoughts

I trust those who smokes is aware of the danger and risk of smoking, both financially and health-related.

The main challenge would be how to quit this habit. And I know this is really not an easy task.

Whatever it is, do consider stop smoking and start saving and living a healthy life.
