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.

I thoroughly enjoy paying bills with my hard earned officiating money 😀

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. 😀

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.

Help pay for my son's college costs.......hey, he thinks college is fun! 🙄

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! 😀 (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!

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...
