I need to get one of these.

I usually take money out only we I want something extra. I used a lot to take a trip to Europe last summer. And this summer I will probably do the same thing, only I want to go to Australia.

I also need to buy a ring for my girl and make her an honest women.

How long have you put it off Jax?

Well, haven't actually put it off at all because I am only 20 and she doesn't want to get married yet either. However, we have been together for 5 years and will probably be getting engaged in 1-2 years, so I'm just planning ahead.

in other news, when you sit with 25bb and then win 25bb, do you then think of 25bb as "originally yours" and 25bb as "winnings", or do you think "50bb=mine"?

I like to think of it as OPM, Other People's Money. I love playing with OPM.

In two years I have never withdrawn a cent from my poker/casino bankroll. And since I am wimp I never take shots at higher limits (ie still playing 1/2 after two years). Hence my bankroll is ALOT.

Until my wife decided we really needed a new kitchen.

So the kitchen is done and now the money is earmarked to pay off the credit card when it comes due in 6/12 months.

So I bought a kitchen with my winnings. Would've much prefered having a 2001FP and a nice TV.

I only play .5/1 and occassionally 1/2, so YMMV. I take out the maximum allowable for the tax deffered contribution to my IRA. Then I invest in variable annuities and equities with long term growth potential. I tuck a little aside to be used as venture capital for small start-ups. Either way, I'm in the market for a truck to haul away my winnings--know anyone? Good question though.

The only correct answer is hookers and blow.

I cash out anything over $500 at the end of each month and buy something "nice" for the family

So far we have had a holiday, Nintendo DS, new PC, and a whole load of other stuff that the normal household budget doesn't really cover!

($500 is enough to max out most bonuses and is 500BB at the limit I play most often!)

Right now I'm just increasing the bankroll. It's gone from $100 to $1200 this year, and I'm thinking of moving up to $2/$4 in Dec.
