Festive Finances: Gift Yourself a Healthier, Happier You!
Written by: Julie Newman (Coach Manager)
The holiday season is upon us! As the chill sets in and the aroma of hot cocoa fills the air, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what truly matters: health, happiness, and a little extra cash in your pocket.
If you’re looking for ways to make your holidays brighter and your wallet fuller, consider this: quitting or cutting back on tobacco use can be the ultimate gift to yourself this festive season.
The Money You Save
Think about it – if you’re a pack-a-day smoker, quitting could save you up to $3,640 per year. If you use smokeless tobacco, you might pocket as much as $1,825 annually, and for e-cigarette users, that number can climb to $1,387 each year. Even if quitting entirely isn’t an option, cutting back can still free up funds for holiday treats and more.
So, what could you do with that extra cash? Here are a few ideas:
Treat yourself to a getaway
Spruce up your home with renovations or decorations
Invest in personal growth with courses or gym memberships
Start a savings fund for a rainy day
Indulge in tickets to a concert or event
Buy a special outfit for a memorable occasion
Your turn: What would you do with a little extra jingle in your pocket this holiday season?
The Gifts You Unwrap
Quitting or cutting back on tobacco isn’t just about saving money. It also brings countless other benefits that make the holidays—and the rest of your life—brighter:
Improved health: Feel better physically and mentally as you embrace a smoke-free lifestyle.
Boosted confidence: Celebrate the empowerment of taking control of your habits.
Stronger relationships: Enjoy more quality time with loved ones who cheer you on.
Protection for others: Reduce the risks of secondhand smoke for those around you.
A brighter future: Say goodbye to the limitations that tobacco may have placed on your life.
Make This Holiday Season Special
This festive season, why not take the first step toward a healthier, happier you? Whether you’re ready to quit completely or simply thinking about cutting back, both choices come with significant rewards. It’s never too late to start a journey that could transform your life—and your holidays.
