May 18, 2005 -- Gene Jolley, President of Kingdom Financial Principles (www.SoLongBills.com) and
creator of The Rapid Debt Reducer software, is helping people to end financial
slavery and enjoy life.
Everyone is aware of many of the costs of
smoking. Recent studies have measured the costs to a person's overall health, in
that person's life expectancy and in the costs to society. Seldom are we made
aware of one other cost, that being the cost in actual dollars, to us
personally.
The true financial cost of smoking just one pack a day is
astounding. It is easy to calculate that at $4 for one pack of cigarettes the
cost for one year is $1460. Over the course of a lifetime of smoking, estimated
at forty years, the cost would be $58,400. Using a projected interest rate of
eight percent compounded annually with a yearly contribution of the $1460, into
a tax deferred savings account such as an IRA or 401K plans over those 40 years,
our ex-smoker would have $408,480.32 saved for retirement. This is without even
taking into account the rising cost of cigarettes! That's the power of
compounding interest working for you instead of against you. It is one example
of how it only takes a little savings each week to make a big difference in
future financial security.
