Hmmm..lets see I've repaired a vehicle, paid off a very small balance owing on a student loan, have bought some special occassion gifts for the family, helped pay for the girls soccer registration, did the whole hair and nails thingy and bought some pieces of furniture. One time I took a $100 dollars of it to the race track and turned it into 3 grand on a trifecta bet with two long shots, in the slop. I love the horses
I still classified that as poker winnings which there for funded some of the above
These items tho were only done when I would cash out a chunk of money, which has been seldom over the last 4yrs.
Most times the monies won stays in my account to fund my poker learning, habit, addiction whatever you want to call it.
I always strive for the days where I can pull out a chunk
