Smoking: How to Burn Up Your Retirement
If smoking costs the individual an estimated $6,000 per year, it is easy to burn up a potential retirement of several million dollars in one lifetime – and that’s if you stay healthy. How stupid can one get. Be sure to read the comments that are associated with this post are there are additional insights worth considering. For example, we tend to criticize those whose behavior we do not emulate, but we have our own “sins” where we too could invest the savings.
Do you recall The Golden Rule of Investing? If saving $2,000 per year for eight years beginning at age nineteen gives one the opportunity to be a millionaire by age 65, image what investing $6,000 per year for a lifetime will generate. How can smokers be so ignorant? And then we have those who buy bottled water when tap water is frequently of better quality.
