Most of it is saved (hoping to buy a taco truck and live in Australia someday), some of it is used for quarterly family vacations, a small bit is used to support my family (what my boring job doesn't cover) and I buy my girlfriends coffee and breakfast a couple times a week.

There's a thrift store/food bank I shop at/for regularly. I'll go in there and buy some books or clothes and ask what they need in terms of food/supplies for their bank. And, then I go buy it for them. Usually it's tuna, formula and shampoo.

In the month of December, 10% of my donations will be donated to a charity listed on my website of my clients' choosing. I have three listed on there, however I'm going to add another local charity I think. One I never used when I was going through the dog days.

It's important to invest in others. What good is investing in yourself when real fulfillment comes from a full heart? :)

I know that most providers used the donation for their families. I wondered if some thought about investing the donation in other areas?

Australia has a severe shortage of taco trucks. I gotta do my part to bring good tacos to the people of Australia, so they no longer have to settle for only Italian, Indian and Greek food. ;)

A taco truck?! Australia?! Yes!!!! Brilliant idea. I'm definitely a taco lover.

You have to come up with a crab taco. You know how I feel about crab and crab cake. lol
Call it "the Nina", ok?

LMAO!

That sounds really good and don't think I've ever had one. Was thinking of making papusas and tamales as well. I wonder how crab would be in a tamale.

thats a great idea..and very admirable on your part :-)

I'm investing in a WHOLE lot. I made a list of goals when I started out.

-A new laptop for school. Check! (I know, I know. Who uses laptops these days. lol I prefer BUTTONS, not touchscreens!!!
-Pay my mother back all of the money she's loaned me. Check!
-$500 text book. A big miserable CHECK! ugh $500!!!???
-A new, reliable car for school and work. (this was very, very important. My car is my livelihood as I support myself.) Check!!!!! YAAAAAYYYY. My new car is my most prized possession. And it's ORANGE! It's soooo pretty! I named her Nala from the Lion King!

-A nice incall location. Working on it! It's a great investment, much cheaper than hotels.
-Savings for emergencies. Which tend to happen every other week. Car, home, family, tax, & medical emergencies, and when my mommy gets old and sick, for my future home etc, etc.  
-Gold and silver. (I have a strong feeling that the US dollar is going to fail eventually. This will come in handy.)
-And of course college!!! I have a loooong way to go.

Not to mention the future. I highly doubt I will be attending grad school in Atlanta. More like Miami BAYBEE!!!!
I plan on moving back to Florida after college. Florida is in my bones!

Amongst other things. I make new goals everyday.

Call me Super Woman.
