My "Other" income goes toward cost averaging mutual funds...

My "Other" income in recent years has gone toward mutual funds on a cost average basis, the one good way to invest on a long term basis. This time now would be an excellent time for investing due to the volatility of the market...why buy high, when you can buy lower, then sell much later at hopefully a higher price and a great retirement??

Hello all. I'm retired, and the kids are doing well on their own, so we spend all of our xtra dollars on our Motor Home, and trinkets that we've always wanted. Only live once !! ;>)

I don't really have much "disposable" income but I do give about 15% of what I make to the church. (www.powh.org). Since the First 10% belongs to God anyway I reccomend that you give it. MY church does a lot of good things in the community and the many stories of former acholholics, drug addicts, adulterers who have changed their lives is incredible.
Since I do the tithing thing, I have been blessed with enough to build a fairly nice Home Theater. I also pay guitar and bass in the church and as you can see from the website God has blessed me to play the finest handmade instruments in the world. www.alembic.com
I believe in tithing as well...
by tomshotcash - 9/13/07 3:54 PM In reply to: Disposable income? by thehifidocA fair amount of my income goes toward the church; as you do, I feel strongly that the church should have income to operate and give the ministers, priests, etc., income. I do not tithe 15%; however, whenever I do win a few dollars in lotto, etc., I always give the church 10%. I also give dollars to the Church when I'm especially thankful for things, like today, for example, when I had a physical and came out great; then, about an hour afterward, locked my keys in the car...the place where I was had a long tool so I could unlock the door...yah gotta be thankful for things large and small.
It is possbile to give your way to happiness.

I'm a cross between "What disposable income?" and "Luxury Items." My expenditures are girlie stuff like shoes or computer software. What are perhaps everyday necessary expenditures for many are a luxury for me and have to be saved and budgeted for.
While I'm still (relatively) young and healthy

I want to travel to places I've never visited before and return to some that I have. For me, travel is sort of an addiction.
Spending Disposable Income

In this screwed up economy. it is very difficult to start a business. A lot of talk goes into the value of start-up ventures (enterprenuerial enterprise) balywood by all and supported by non. If you have business and capital you can get a loan from a bank (as long as your financials reflect you don't need one), or a venture hawk that takes ownership and will (hopefully), allow you to operate the company to profitability, then takes control and ousts the founders. Not always, but mostly.
My time and capital goes to seed money and business plan writing to get the operation off the ground. The usual is I take 15% of the company and hold the shares in the treasury. The founders then pay me back my seed money and as they do so, they assume the remaining 15% share that I was holding. More people need to participate in the initial phases of start-up functions and help guide these ideas and people into the mainstream.

Disposable income is such misnomer, a lot like "extra money." There's just no such thing. Any money that is left over after food and shelter is basically fair game. I spend very hesitantly but when I do, it is on things that I tell myself I need, like car audio, the newest Mac technology (after a revision or two to be safe), and digital camera equipment. Other hobbies like fishing or surfing require only a few key things, a fishing pole and reel, or a surfboard, respectively. These are rare purchases, but technology has me in its seductive clutches. Purchased a new MacBook Pro in February, only to sell it last month (for the price I paid for it!). Told myself I needed the money, but ended up purchasing the newest incarnation from Apple!

Fighting the corrupt Harris County (Houston,TX) District Atty's. office. They do not like law abiding armed citizens using a weapon to defend the life of themself, spouse, and children when attacked, especially by repeat felons that they turned loose upon the public.
Handgun: $250(in 1985)
Holster: $20
Ammo: $7
Legal Fees,lost wages,etc:$41,000
Wife and daughter alive: PRICELESS
Chuck Rosenthal, Steve Baldassano, Alan Currie, and Warren Diepram are Houston's Mike Nifong syndrom.

Houston has become a safe haven for criminals of all stripes

When I save up 5000$, I invest it in a mutual fund. Been a while since I've managed it...
Also like spending too much on ebay.
Next year: too much on a new camera.
