I sat down once and figured out how much I had spent like that. It was around $12,000 a year between drugs, smokes and booze.
I could really use that $12,000 right now. Oh, wait, multiply that by 30...
$360,000
Instead of being homeless, I could have had a house.
I sometimes joke that I wish I could get back all the money I've spent on booze, so I could spend it on more booze...
