could save themselves over two and a half thousand pounds every year...

Everybody needs motivation to achieve something and smokers who are trying to quit can really help themselves if they motivate themselves and focus on why they are giving up. There are the obvious health benefits, the fact that you will feel better but what many people overlook is the substantial financial incentive to quit smoking.

Abbey, one of the UK’s largest mortgage providers argues that if a couple quit smoking they could save themselves over two and a half thousand pounds every year. If they put this money aside for a couple of years they will be in a position to put a deposit down on their first home. Abbey said from their own research they have seen that 40 percent of UK citizens said that they would quit smoking if it could help them to get into the property market. With the cost of houses in the UK at an all time high many young couples are finding it very difficult to get mortgages to buy their first home and smoking couples should consider that it could be their smoking habit which is preventing them from getting their first home.

Even if you have a home and money is not to pressing, saving two and a half thousand pounds a year is always welcome. With that sort of money you could go on a fantastic holiday every year or buy yourself something that you really want.

Smokers also report that they have increased levels of energy when they quit smoking and you should think that this extra energy could be used to help your career. If you are feeling a little bit lethargic at work and you need some more energy to go up the corporate ladder, quitting smoking could be something that could help you. Smoking really could make a big difference to your financial health as well as your bodily health. The benefits of not smoking are just too numerous to list.
