I’m amazed by family members, friends, and coworkers that smoke like chimneys. I ask them how much their pack a day habit costs and I’m floored. Even the lower tax native smokes are not cheap.

Then throw in the booze and drugs it’s no wonder why they can’t afford a lot of basic things. I have a addictive personality at times but thankfully I’m too cheap for those things and would rather travel, own the toys, vehicles etc.

I do have an addiction to sweets and ice cream which gives me the same gas issues.
