It also depends on what "over a period of years" means,\n\nIf it was enough years, you may just have to conceed that it is unsolvable. But even THAT has a great deal in it for you to learn from.\n\nA couple things to consider as you calculate too, would be;\n\nThe price of Hangover remedies\nDollars lost from Days lost from work due to hanovers\n\nYou might even want to contemplate what "other" kinds of things that it has cost you;\n\njobs\nrelationships\nopportunities\n\nEither that... or just listen to your sponsor.\n\nlol\n\nGood luck & God bless

It's pretty much up to the individual.  Back in the day (decades ago) every thing was paid for so when you got paid you had nothing to spend it on.  If you were wise you saved it, otherwise they would go on spending sprees which usually involved booze and other unmentionables.  If the individual is married it's no different than being married to someone in the military as far as the time apart is concerned.

Let x = amount used oin September\nThen x+12 = amount used in October\nAnd 2(x+12) = 2x + 24 = amount used in November\n Total amount used is x+ x+12 + 2x +24 = 4x+36\nSo 4x +36 = 132\n4x=96\nx=24 amount used in September\nx+12 =24+12 =36 = amount used in October\n2(x+12)= 2*36=72 =amount used in November

No and no, 99.9% of drug fund organized crime. So the money people spend on drugs can go towards people smuggling, prostitution and other crimes which take advantage of vulnerable people.\n\nAnother worry with drugs is that very few drugs bought are 100% pure and are cut with other compounds. These can be anything your dealer wants or finds lying around. With horror stories such as Ajax (bleach in powder form) being used to cut cocaine, I really wouldn't want to put that up my nose!\n\nAfter briefly studying the effects of drugs during my chemistry degree. What I saw about the effects of drugs on various parts of the body put me off even thinking about taking any type of drug in my lifetime. Even 'harmless' weed has been shown to cause long term effect on the brain. Although weed has less tar in it than tobacco it still has tar in it which is not good for you at all.

Capital Spending is nothing but, investment.\nCapital Spending\nSpending on items with a useful life of more than one year. The price of these items affects the "investing" section of the cash flow statement in the year purchased, and then gets expensed over many years on the income statement via depreciation.\n\nGovernment expenditure (like expenditure by private sector firms) can be categorised into either 'current expenditure' or 'capital expenditure'. Current expenditure is recurring spending or, in other words, spending on items that are consumed and only last a limited period of time. They are items that are used up in the process of providing a good or service. In the case of the government, current expenditure would include wages and salaries and expenditure on consumables - stationery, drugs for health service, bandages and so on.\n\nBy contrast, capital expenditure is spending on assets. It is the purchase of items that will last and will be used time and time again in the provision of a good or service. In the case of the government, examples would be the building of a new hospital, the purchase of new computer equipment or networks, building new roads and so on.
