What are the special things you do with your Adsense money?

[humblebeginnings]

Throwing in another silly q, but what the!@#$%...
When I received my july payment, I took my wife out to a, well, not so really good, but acceptable restaurant. It may sound pathetic but it is a symbol.
It gives me much more pleasure doing the AS stuff if I spend some of the money on very visible or special things.

Did you folks ever received your AS payment to go straight to the travel agency to book a trip to a sunny place? Did one of you ever brought your payment instantly to the Porsche dealer? What are the special things you do with your AS money?

I'm saving pretty much all my AdSense income -- I don't know if I'll make my goal of retiring at 40, but the extra income certainly makes it more feasible.

[darkmage]

Crack and whores. Sometimes I like to combine them and go for crack whores.

[jenkers]

currently looking for a holiday home in the Dordogne, to be funded partly by Adsense partly from other funds that the adsense funds have given me the opportunity to generate. Will be letting it out next summer...special forum rate?

[kartiksh]

Actually helping me a lot since last 3 yrs to maintain my monthly cash flow.

I'm saving for a 3 week holiday in Florida next year for myself, the wife and child.

[alika]

Spend, spend, spend (business spending, that is) to make sure that Uncle Sam does not get most of it :o)

[HNichols]

I pay my mortgage. And save in an IRA.

I'm saving for a 3 week holiday in Florida

Just came back from a week in the steaming swampy cesspool called Florida, it's highly overrated and too hot for humans. However, a few hours in the Everglades on an airboat is really neato!

Hmmm, what do I do with my AdSense money....

I avoid work alot as I can make money sleeping and watching TV or parked at the pub sucking down pints. It's definitely Webmaster Welfare and gave me a nice early retirement at 44 ;)

New things I'm contemplating this year via AdSense are a 50" plasma TV and a convertible sports car or maybe a big fat Caddy instead, who knows, I change my mind daily.

[loganz]

im in hawaii with my convertible pt cruiser swimming in 15 foot waves on oahu's north shore.

[moTi]

in chronological order:

- account balancing
- 19inch tft monitor
- clothing
- savings!
- more powerful computer
- installation of second work station
- more powerful outsourced server
- more savings!

what will come in the next months:

- relocation to apartment with separate workroom
- employment of assistance
- notebook with umts-card

and then i will be able to go on holiday - couldn't leave my computer for the last three years for more than a few days because of the kind of my business.

yip! :)

[janethuggard]

Okay, enough. I am spilling my guts.

It has enabled me to blow this popsicle stand, and head north to play with the polar bears. I just gave away our home, which we owned outright, and gave away a nice sports car, and am packed and almost ready to go. I will be out of here in 3 weeks, when the rest of my loose ends are tied up. High noon on October 8, the last daughter is married off, and I am so out of here. Calling it retired at 52. Spouse calling it retired at 43.

It was not just Adsense, it is accredited to our internet business as whole, with many eggs in many ebaskets. But, Adsense made it real.

We are off on the adventure of a lifetime, that will take a lifetime, and not in a motorhome or travel trailer. We are going first class. We are going to be posting our adventure to the web, and letting everybody know, with Adsense, you can reach for the stars, and put some in your pockets.

That... my peers, is where Adsense makes the difference. No longer dreaming of things to come, but actually living the dream.

Wait, you're leaving a popsicle stand to become a popsicle?

I'm confused....

[rondell]

pay my bills

[janethuggard]

"I'm confused...."

I think it is the water, Bill. You need to have that checked ;)

[tama]

To answer the original post, I take 90% of all online profits and invest it in "real world" investments. not that AS and AM are not part of the real world, but I want to put that money into tangible investments. We have purchased several rental properties this way so far.

[incrediBILL]

I guess beer doesn't count as a "rental property"...

[ann]

No Bill,

but it tastes good ;)

[janethuggard]

But, you do only 'rent' the beer :)

[jazzd1]

Right now, I use it for getting more of my pages optimized on both of my sites but starting the new year, i'll use it for trips in the mountians of north carolina (my home), put some in the bank and probably look for a jeep to buy ect.. Danny
