$$$ Saved, What will you do?

[poundpuppiesrock]

Just a curiosity, what will you do with all the money saved from quitting analogs? Has anyone really given a thought to what money has been saved and equate it to a tangible object.

For example, I have saved about 350 which is a new pair of Gucci Sunglasses to replace the ones my dogs ate.

I know it sounds superficial, but when I can put the dollar amount to something I know and understand then it means more to me.

I figure I can buy a new Cole Haan purse at Saks in one more month. Or I could wait for 6 months and buy a Gucci (that is at a minimum of $1400), not saying I would do that). But when you put it into perspective, things you never could have done and now you can all because you quit analogs...to me it is amazing.

I want to run a 5K (I have never run before because I could not), I want a new Cole Haan handbag, and to pay off any over debt.

Sorry for those who know me, I always have a dancing banana (if only I could figure out how to get the multi-colored ones)

Spend it on skiing and guitar gear.

 

[Liv2Ski]

Skiing and PV gear as reward for reaching no smoking milestones. Yes I could have said spend it on my family but I need vices too!!!

I like that...don't know much about guitar, but I can from time to time play a mean piano or tuba.

I'll let you know when I break even, which should be around 2015.

Haha...I understand. hubby spent around $700 (I almost had a heart attack) during the month of December (included all my start up TW stuff, which I have sold b/c I upgraded to the saber touch), and with him not dipping 2-3 cans or me smoking 2 PKD I say their has been $$$ saved. We have recouped the costs.

Quit analogues 3 weeks ago today and don't know if I will save money (too busy buying new pv toys), but with the health savings I plan on enjoying deep breaths, smelling wonderful smells and taking long hikes when the weather warms up.

It's going to be another 1-2 months before I break even. Then I plan to spend it on new clothes!

Also I see that you are from Harlingen, I'm originally from Brownsville. All of my family lives down there so I go visit a couple of times a year.

I like the skiing idea. Perfect time for that

[SikVapor]

While it is very possible to same money by vaping, for me personally, I've spent more on vaping than I ever did on cigs! I don't mind it at all, though.

I got a 55" tv (on payment plan) and am redoing my kitchen and bath

 

[loden813]

Would love a new Gibson electric...may be there soon!!

 

[charmed412]

Medications, medications, medications....oh and did I mention, medication.

 

[Java_Az]

I have spent every cent i have saved on Tools to make mods. Drill press mini lathe Rework solder station and so on. Getting pretty close to having everything i need though so i will have to find something else to spend the extra cash on.

 

[bryanwithay]

More gear!!!

 

[Juicehead]

Of course, more PV gear and juices. But I feel like I am close to having everything I need for a while.

The rest of the money will go into savings. Possible some camping/sporting gear to help get back in shape now that my lungs feel so much better

No, No and HELL NO! We need more gear honey! Besides HOW MANY PURSES DO YOU NEED WOMAN? I just got you 2 cole hanns! PLUS you got a brand new pair of Costa sunglasses! I think the money would be MUCH better spent on a nice lever action 30/30 and a PS3. Maybe even a down payment on a motorcycle? hint hint...

I see many more saks bills in our future though...... sigh

I've definitely saved money over smoking, and it just gets spent on other things I might not have bought otherwise. Not a big spender with a lot of disposable income as it is.
