My habit is buying little random things that I don't think amount to anything but they do. Money's money. Your realization about your habits is a good thing. It could lead to saving money on all fronts. Maybe your insurance premiums will go down if your company knows you don't smoke anymore and maybe you could cut down Starbucks to twice a week?

I'm a smoker and a frugalist. I got a cigarette making machine (Premier) and buy bulk tobacco and tubes. I can make a pack of full flavor filter cigarettes in about 3 minutes and it costs me about a buck a pack.

I recently started my pf blog and while I was contemplating on expenses, I realized that getting pregnant did do me good. I stopped smoking, which saved me $20-$30 a week. Here in NZ, a pack costs NZ$10 on average, that's about US$7.50. I don't plan to go back to smoking anymore. As for coffee... well, I still have some now and then but I'm good about making them myself. I don't wanna go back to

Just be glad you're not a smoker living in the UK. A pack of 20 costs about £5.70 / £5.80 here, which is $12 at current exchange rates - i.e., four times as expensive as what you pay.

The market for black market cigarettes and hand-rolled is huge here.

Yup. This is a list off the cigs you are allowed to sell in the state. http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/other_forms/mlpcig.pdf

Notice the minimum price? If you sold it at a minimum price, you'd make no money. Typically stores charge $1 to $2 more.

A lot of people started ordering them online.

Then the state sued all of the online companies for a list

I looked at your “My Net worth”. For starters, it's stupid to post some of that information for the public to see. Posting that shit makes you a target. Keep it close, it's nobodies business.

This is what a criminal says when they see this shit: “$39k cash? That's awesome, I will now target you for a scam because I know you have money. I'd target you for a lawsuit, but your net worth

Be glad your not in Jersey, you'd be paying at least $6 for your favorite pack.

$127.60 invested monthly in a market returning 10% (average) between the ages of 25 and 65 would net you ~$806,952.

If you were in Jersey (paying $6/pack) and you invested it monthly with the same return and same time period, you'd net over $1million. Expensive habit.
