Get addicted to money

So I gave up smoking cigarettes cold turkey out of nowhere about two weeks ago, and have since then enjoyed the extra boost in income, and this week realized I'd enjoy the $100 more than I'd enjoy the wax and decided not to get any THC this week, and having done the math before, I know I'm averaging about $600/month not smoking cigarettes or wax.
I'm kind of hoping a switch flipped in me finally and I start pinching pennies like my dad, because with my income if I literally only spent $200/week on bills and $30/week on gas I'd have around $17,000 leftover for savings, and that's assuming a pretty hefty tax rate.
Like, fuck, I could have almost 50% down on some of the houses I've seen, or even just have 10s of thousands of dollars to invest. Imagine if I had $30k to invest in Hertz or JetBlu instead of $30. One or both of them could yield 10x my investment, so I could have made a quarter million in one year, bought two rental properties, and doubled my income in 18 months. If I'd done this 11 years ago when I turned 18 I'd be a multi-millionaire by now.
