$157,248 Money saved in the Bank
Hi. I have to pinch myself. $157,248 Money saved & sitting in my overs tray instead of being burnt ash in the ash tray. Only took 10 years 3 months. That $ total was in the "old" amount paid for the drug. My drug of choice now is O2. A lot better than CO etc. Not a bad pay rise either. Hope everyone finds a good quit buddy on this site. Mine should be visiting end of this month with announcement of 10 years quit. He is 100 days behind me and stayig there, I know. Fingers crossed.

I am sure Dobbins is enjoying his status and savings as much as you are Lia. I know that I am, although I have not saved nearly as much as you have. I can't imagine what the real total would be if you had included cost increases and investment return. It is mind blowing as it is!!!
I know that I enjoy the health benefits and the simple freedom from the never ending nagging to be feeding the little monster.
Keep up the good work and the posting which is certain to give incentive!
Thanks, Happiness. I hadn't thought of investment returns or compound interest. Even better!
What an awesome achievement Lea. Stay the course bacause I don't want to catch up to you, nor do I want to fall behind.
Hi Safe2017. Yes, you hit the nail on the head. It's not a race or a competition and if we've survived this long we don't want to let ourselves down or others.
