Cost of Your Vices
Here's mine:

As a new mom, I guess I don't have many vices! I haven't had an alcoholic beverage in months, and I avoid caffeine while pumping as well. For fun, I put in how much I used to smoke, and quitting has saved me $613 per year - probably more than that, since I was buying cigarettes in New York where they cost about $12 per pack.
This is a neat little tool for figuring out where you can quickly cut down extraneous spending. What's your cost?
It's a neat tool, but the assumptions are too simple to suit me. While I might not count the couple sodas I drink in a year as a real cost (especially since they're usually free to me), some of the other options aren't easy to answer. I eat fast food maybe twice a month, which I know isn't great for my health or my wallet. However, the choices for fast food only go down to "2-3 times/week" because the tool multiplies weekly consumption.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea soda's were so costly. The tool really is to simplistic but it is still an eye opener if you use it as an average.
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't realize I was spending that much.
