Smoking and your Wallet - Retirement vs Tobacco

In a first on the podcast, we are joined by an analyst from Wallet Hub, a financial literacy website. Jill Gonzalez normally appears on venues such as Fox Business Network, the Wall Street Journal Live, C-Span, and Fortune. Today she joins me to talk about WalletHub's analysis - The True Cost of Smoking. Listen and learn to find out how much smoking costs the individual over a lifetime, and all the different ways it can impact one's finances. 

To Do:

1- Find out what grade your state gets for tobacco control with this tool from the American Lung Association.

2- Calculate the lifetime cost of smoking in your state using the Wallet Hub tool and share that information with anyone who needs to know.

3- If you or someone you love needs to quit smoking, check out Smokefree.gov or the ALA for more information.
