Fun things you do with your officiating $$
 
Ok I'll start.

I took the family to Disney in Florida for a week. I saved all my checks for a few months.

My kids and wife spend alot if time without me during the season so they deserved it.

42 inch HD TV with surround sound. Hoops are unbelievable to watch. Hard to watch anything not in HD anymore. March madness is awesome!!!

Ditto. And summer camps -- usually $1500 - $2000 in camp costs.

Same thing, but mine also has a feature to blank the video while only having the audio present. :D

Every year by April 1st my credit cards are paid down to $0.00.

G/f and I are going to Orange County, CA and Las Vegas in May and the plane tickets were paid for by officiating money.

Any extra money helps with my annual allotment of 2 out-of-town camps (this year there is actually a big camp in town, but it will still cost me $400).

Dinners out, 40 inch flat screen, poker with the boys, cigars. The rest I spend foolishly.

Fun things to do with Ref Money
 
Help pay for my son's college costs.......hey, he thinks college is fun! :rolleyes:

Seriously though, golf expenses and maybe a night out, but I mostly just roll it back in to my normal bills......I mean I'm not in it for the $, I'm in to exercise, wear cool clothes, and attract members of the opposite sex! :D (may they never meet my wife).

All the money I make, it goes to a savings account for my unborn children's college fund. My wife gives me some allowance, but other than that, I'm broke!

Coltdoggs Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:28am

Seasons past it's paid for spring break vacation for the family...lot's of dinners out...Last weekend I had to pop for new tires on the car so the weekly money always comes in handy...

This year though we have been paying down credit cards...have two paid off and one left...It's a nice feeling...

Football this year, 52" Sharp Aquous LCD. :D

Basketball, into the money market account for a house we are presently remodeling.

This season volleyball and basketball earnings were set aside to pay for my daughter's sweet 16 party next month. Next year .. we're tiling the kitchen floor.

Bad Zebra Fri Mar 07, 2008 12:03pm
