It’s easy to save a million dollars—wrong.

It’s easy to get sober—wrong again.

But for those of you with enough drive and ambition, you can succeed in both. The best thing is that getting sober will help you get the million dollars. Here’s how:

## The Financial Side

You’ll start off with a deficit because getting sober requires assistance, and assistance costs money. But you shouldn’t think of the cost of rehab as starting with a deficit; think of the cost of rehab as an expense or better yet think of it as an investment. An investment into your future.

If you think that it can’t be done, read on.

$2,755 per year When you look at the charts, it’s apparent that if you calculate based on ten percent per year, the amount you need to save per day is extremely small. But even at four percent, (which anyone should be able to do if they’re not drinking or doing drugs) the daily amount isn’t out of reach. In fact, if you are now living a clean and sober lifestyle, and you’re not spending money on alcohol or drugs, it should be well within your reach. ## Cost of Drugs and/or Alcohol The average cost of drugs for an addict is from 75 200 per day, and that is a conservative estimate. An alcoholic can get away cheaper, but only if they’re “slumming” it, and not stopping in at bars to have a drink or two. If they’re drinking outside, the numbers add up quickly. Mind you, this is the average cost, so your expenditures may be higher or lower. If you have an addiction problem, get it treated. That is, if you want to save a million dollars. Take the money you were spending on your addiction and put it into savings. Before you know it, the dollars will add up. And if you’re not interested in saving a million, there are still many benefits to getting clean and sober, not the least of which is living a happier, longer life. Just for grins, I listed a table below that shows what would happen if you invested$75 per day at four, eight, and ten percent for a period of thirty years.

Before you say “I couldn’t do that,” think about this:

If you saved just ten dollars a day for thirty years you’d have \$653,000 assuming a ten percent annual return.

Not a bad reward for fixing your life.
