Encourage all the smokers who have the Amazing Goal of quitting

duh John! how I missed this point of encouragement …. the money !

I am a big fan of internet banking. BIG FAN. And that little addiction of mine may become a tool that some of the people trying to quit can use.

Figure out how much you smoke a day, the daily cost of the smoking (price of a pack divided by cigarettes), then transfer that much money to your online bank account each day you don’t smoke.

(Doing online transfers from your regular bank account to an online account don’t cost a thing except a few moments of time)

Sure, the transfers are going to relatively small, even those of you who smoke a whole pack a day will see these savings deposits are relatively small.

But over time, $3 here, $4 there, $2 another time, it adds up, rather quickly. And with compound interest, your daily habit of transferring money that would have gone up in smoke will really add up.

Not every tool can work for everyone, but perhaps this idea can work for some people.

Good Luck!

Has the increase in the price of gasoline, and the subsequent reduced disposable income, helped you at all in purchasing fewer, and thereby smoking fewer, cigarettes?

Yes – it was worth doing!

I wonder if any of the smokers on the team find it as worthwhile ?

Sunny Lee (no relation btw) has this awesome goal of “Cheer 143 people on their goal to quit smoking” as a personal challenge goal.

Since we are all about encouraging, wouldn’t it be cool if everyone on this goal threw a cheer at that goal of hers so she could then cheer other people who are trying to quit.

More cheers have gone to the people with “Quit Smoking” as a goal.

I wonder if I am the only person who has never smoked who is on this goal?

Cheering on people with the goal of quitting smoking is actually fun. It would be pretty cool if some of my subscribers adopted this goal if only for a few days….

I just about fell over when I saw how many people have a goal related to Quitting Smoking.

So I will make a HUGE effort to cheer them on.
