Money down the drain
How much your weekly Friday-night beers is costing you
Does it make sense for a young person to have life insurance?
Think you're too young for life insurance? Buying early can help save on premiums.
Whether it’s a pack of cigarettes a day, or your weekly Friday-night beers with friends at the pub, costs add up fast.
Beer binge
Four craft pints at the local pub at $45 weekly (including tax and tip) = $2,340/yr.
A pack of smokes
A pack of Marlboros a day at $12 each = $4,380/yr.
Fancy coffee
A daily Venti latte from Starbucks at $4.15 = $1,515/yr.
Take-out lunch
A burger, fries and coke daily at $8= $2,920/yr.
