Things you could spend on instead if you hadn't bought something useless.

NightWoundsTime, if you take the time to take a walk at least an hour a day you could lose that weight even more. I'm 5'8" and I went from 200 to 180 solely on walking and keeping my diet around 2000 calories. If I had hit the gym I probably would've lost more. Though now that I have hit 180, I've been staying there for awhile which means walking isn't cutting it anymore and I need to go to the gym.

LMAO! Yea!

Seriously, I'm pretty young and I have sensitive teeth due to my candy filled days.

I have a weakness for coffee-flavoured ice-cream of a particular kind sold in supermarkets around here. If it were for me I'd eat several cups a day, but I restrain myself to only one or at most two.
If I suddenly stopped eating that ice cream, I'd save up about €0.80 per day, which means €24 per month and (holy crap) €268 per year.
That could buy me a video card, or two high capacity hard drives, or a nice mp3 player, or enough cheap chinese electronics to fill a large box.
But you know what? Screw that. I derive so much pleasure from eating that ice cream I'm willing to give up the electronics in its favour.

I went through at least a pack of Marlboro or Parliament Lights per day from 17 until 25. That's roughly 3,000 packs. Four of those years were spent in Virginia, where smokes ran about $2 per pack; otherwise they were about $5.

Doing the math, that's over ten @#$^%$ing grand spent on cancer potential and smelling like a barroom floor. Sheesh. I've never actually added it up like that.

And the saddest part? I still miss it.

Being away from home more than half a day, I wasted too much money for on-the-go food. In the end they atleast cost as much as the groceries at home.

If I had make lunches for myself instead, probably a new digital camera.

One word for you guys

Alcohol



I could've bought a few houses with the amount of money that I have spent on going out and drinking over the past 25 years. A lot of fun, but also alot of money.
