You tend to get deals on bigger purchases. But it's a pretty typical pattern for people to destroy all their savings, and social capital very quickly during the escalating dose phase of drug addiction. My friend who got hooked liquidated his retirement funds, sold his car, house, borrowed tens of thousands from family & friends & banks, committed insurance fraud, and embezzled from his employer. Probably over $100K and all gone within 18 months to ketamine and meth.
