I put $40 dollars in my savings account, took the debit card from my SO, and I have a little over $200 in my checking, which is for my light bill, now just to stress over gas for the next two weeks. ugh!
I have $40 cash in hand, and $70 in food stamps (that will only last this week)
Has anyone quit drinking pop, or quit a habit to save money?
I am considering it, because I drink a lot of pop, I buy 2-12 packs per pay check, and then sometimes, I go to the store and buy one if im not at home.( I quit chewing tobacco to save money, back when I quit it was almost $4 now I hear its $6 to buy one can, holy cow,) but I thought about it, quit drinking pop, and I will save $40, a bottle of pop is about $1.25-$1.35, depending on where you buy it, if i buy one 20-oz daily, thats, $37.50 a month. And that is just for myself, that is not including the pop I buy for my SO, and my children. Besides that pop is bad for you. But like any addiction, am I really ready for that step.

Quitting soda not only saved some cash, but I know it was a huge contributor in me keeping the weight off.
It's nice when things can have more than one positive affect.
