Planning on buying anything special with your Mahalo Dollars?

Are you looking to earn a certain amount to get something you've always wanted? Do you ever plan on cashing out a large amount of your dollars to make a specific purchase?

I want to take a suggestion from @robbrown. After I have enought to pay out I will lend my Mahalo Dollars to Kiva. It really would be amazing to me if the money I make here at MA was lent to an entrepreneur and with that loan they got thier business off the ground or succeded in a task previously impossible.
Im here to help.

Asker's Rating:
• This is such a great idea, and very generous on the part of everyone who's participating. How could I not pick this as the best answer? (The Vegas trip and the Blu-Ray player both sounded pretty good, too, I gotta say...)

Wow, thanks for suggesting this!

So far, our Kiva team has loaned $900! We're only 16 members strong and could really use some help to really make a difference.

I've sent you M$5 buddawiggi to say thanks for supporting our Kiva group!

The only thing special I plan on doing with my Mahalo dollars is depositing them into my bank account. I'm cheap and I like to save my money.

The entrepreneur donation program is a good idea too for people that can afford to help out those in need.

Cheeseburgers, non-filtered cigarettes, and lots of non-diet soda. I'm on summer break - the last one before I finish my undergrad work and become a productive member of society for a change - so I'm going to enjoy my cash!

That sounds like heaven! I hope you have enough left over for some lattes too. There's only so much soda you can drink in a day. I might throw some filters on them smokes too, you know, safety first.

Hah! Filters are for people who want to LIVE!

Seriously, though, I hate filtered cigs - they're never strong enough for my liking.

I haven't earned too much money yet, but I really want to get a Blu-Ray player. When I get a couple hundred Mahalo dollars, that's what I'm gonna buy.

http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~wtabib/Blu-Ray_disks/Blu-ray%20disc.jpg

"Dark Knight" was the dopest-looking movie I've ever seen. I can't imagine how good it would look on my HDTV on a sweet Blu-Ray. Also, I bet "WALL-E" would be amazing because of the digital transfer.

To be honest, I haven't thought much about it. I'm currently an intern while I'm in college and not sure if I'll get my job back when my contract is up. It's looking good, but If I don't, it's going to be going to tuition, textbooks and cheap food.
http://www.reallygoodfriend.com/images/mr_noodles.jpg
Or, I'll just let it sit until I decide I really need it. So far I've never needed to tap in to my emergency fund, but who knows. Maybe THIS can be my emergency fund.
I've been trying to pump some tips back into the community too, but to be honest, I haven't really come up with any good, tip-deserving questions lately.
I also like to donate to World Vision every year just before Christmas and buy several things in the names of my friends and family. It makes me feel good about myself, and takes away the guilt of all the junk I've wasted money on for the whole year. This might be a good addition to my donation fund. Plus then It'll be tax-deductible. WOOHOO!
http://makingwavesmarketing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/goat_08_lg.jpg

I almost feel a little guilty spending this money on myself unnecessarily for some reason. Maybe because it's just too easy and I don't feel like I'm working for the money. I don't want to waste it on pizza and chocolate bars and nightclubs which will undoubtedly happen if I don't have a plan.. I'd like to do something a little better with the money. At this point in my life I'm making more money than I need, because I have a very cheap lifestyle (basically no bills other than a phone and rent) so I'd like to spend the excess on a better cause because I'm very fortunate for having the lifestyle and job I have.

I think I'll just have to wait a couple months and see what kind of total I've racked up! Who knows, maybe I WILL only have enough for a pizza!

I used the money from my first (and only, so far) cash out on something responsible, so I want to use my next one on something fun!

I really want to go to Vegas before the summer is over so it would be nice to use my Mahalo money to cover the plane ticket. My hotel room and stuff would already be comped so it would be virtually no money out of my own pocket, other than gambling costs.
http://haacked.com/images/haacked_com/WindowsLiveWriter/MyFirstFathersDay_14DB0/vegas_1.jpg

I also really want a new DSLR camera so that's another option. I don't *need* they money so I think it's cool to use it as a way to reward myself.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C7UhDZTgvx4/SgwGTEQLQTI/AAAAAAAAE2c/-CoxzznrxGM/s320/nikon+d60.jpg

I also plan to donate some of my M$ to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is an organization very close to my heart.
