I stopped driving 70 MPH to work and cut it down to 60 ... it made a big difference for me.

I also cut back on the soda. Mostly drink just water now. I was amazed at how much money I would drop at convenient stores on butts, drinks, and snacks. I saved a ton there by holding onto my "pocket change" and quitting a vice.
Some sins will have to be given up...that's for sure.

Congradulation on kicking the smoking...High Five..

Just avoiding the traps of sugar in itself will save a bundle...That goes for beer & smokes too.

Good job..
