Boy's...I was a two pack a day smoker for 22 years. Stopped cold turkey in 1995. The money I saved by not smoking, bought me a new 16 ft. skeeter in "95". Paid it of in "03 and traded that in for a new "03" Nitro NX750. Got well over a thousand dollars in rod and reels, for Bass, Crappie, and Catfishing. Nothing special, just good reliable outfits. Well over a thousand dollars in lures, tackle and equipment. Four weeklong trips to Kentucky Lake each year. Many more trips around home. Well.....That's how I did it!.....Think about it!
