How do you mentally spend your Googlebucks?

[david_uk]

Took the family to the cinema today - not a cheap outing :(. Got home, checked my stats only to find that in the time I was out of the house, my Goole earnings had increased by the same amount as the outing to the cinema cost!

So I was wondering if similar instances happen to others?

[wyweb]

yeah...well, sort of...

My toys have gotten bigger and they all seem to have motors now.... I don't have to wind things up anymore.

Is that what you're talking about?

A C200 Kompressor.

I mentally spend the same money several times before I receive it...

Oh, $5 today.. that will pay for a month of hosting.
Oh, $5 today.. that will pay for a meal
Oh, $5 today.. that will pay for my gasoline
Oh, $5 today.. that will pay for...

By the time the day is over I'm in debt up to my neck.. but at least I made $5!

Still digging out of a huge financial hole from a failed business 3 years ago. So every day that I check my AS earnings, I can't afford to think about spending any of it on anything beyond bills and debt. Sorry to be a bummer, but when you've been living for years this close to bankruptcy, it kinda drags you down. At the same time, the thought of homelessness is a huge motivator! :)

I would spend it on something that sparkles, Super Ideal Cut, colorless, flawless, 2 karats minimum

I often think to myself if I make some big bucks over the next few years I'm going to give a large some of money to orphaned and abandoned kids charity in the UK. That will be the day it was all worth while. That is my goal that is my promise.

still waiting for my EFT this month (G say it is all ok, and they cannot guarantee a set date each month on
which your payments will be approved)... anyway...

• Holiday to Florida + NY
• Deposit on a new car (mazda RX 8)
• Nice gift for my first wedding anniversary (7thAug)
• clear some debts.

I'm thinking about a convertible...

Google money helps fund down payments in rental real estate investments where the Googlebucks can keep on growing. :)

Right now the affiliate cash only forms a small part of the down payments, but someday I'd love to have my Google money pay for all my real estate deals.

[uk_webber]

Re-investment Thats where the smart money goes. You can keep your flash depreciating cars.

[Sootah]

Meike hit the nail right on the head. The real estate marked where I live is going absolutely CRAZY right now. I really want to get into a home for myself.

Currently though, all extra money I have goes to paying off the little bit of debt I have, because I absolutely hate to owe money on anything.

Long term goals? Several investment/rental properties a really nice car, my own home completely paid off, and some toys. That'll take some time though, and I hope the AdSense train doesn't derail before then. (Or at the very least, hopefully something will take it's place that's as good, or better)

[Zygoot]

short-term: buying my first car (not too expensive, probably a second-hand convertible, budget approx. 6000EUR), trying out some PPC to affiliate programs, buying other websites.

long-term: help to pay a niece piece of ground to build my own house on, reinvestments, ...

I don't spend my Google earnings. I save them.
When I save enough, I will invest them somewhere.

[ken_b]

I'm planning on spending some of my Googlebucks on a trip to the next US WW conference.

[web_sense]

Save for the future and some on stocks.

[indias next no1]

i am just planning to buy a new Computer, but not sure.

[Curiosity]

Repaying my college loans; moving to an apartment that's not on a truck route; paying for language lessons. Very glamorous, my life.

After that, of course, I invest the money until I have enough to buy a house or two and a few toys, and then I live the life of an international woman of mystery. Or perhaps Lara Croft. Haven't decided which. Whichever involves the fewest bullets, I think.

[emodo]

Creating a lump of money to let me get on my feet when I go off the graduate school.

[nuthin]

this months check is already spent -- spending money for my trip in malaysia.

last months went towards paying for the airfares, accommodation etc.

when i get back, knuckling down and hopefully have a nice lump sum by this time next year to build my first home with my girl.

other than that, i gotta stop blowing my adsense earnings :D

[sirkei]

<-this months check is already spent -- spending money for my trip in malaysia.->

So how did you find malaysia? Cool place?

[Dantol]

yeah, how was your Malasia trip? Tell us, maybe we go there too.

I heard Dubai is awesome city with cool and unusual skyscrappers and man-made Islands. But that's in United Arab Emirates.

Bought my wife a Dior watch in 20k gold for our 2-year anniversary from a pawnshop while visiting K.L. in Malaysia. Also invested in 12 x 300cc ATV's from China and shipped them to Dubai with a good margin.

Booked already 2 Star Alliance Around the World ticket and we are leaving in a few days time for Dubai and Greece.

2-year anniversary -
Should have been 20-year anniversary
