Do you use your earnings to help pay bills or do you use it to buy fun stuff?

I am saving up all my spare money to go on vacation this December 6th- January 4th in Sweden, and I will stay in Barcelona the 15th-18th. I have my tickets already so I don't have to worry about that, and I am staying with my boyfriend's family in Sweden, so food and necessities I will have there. All the extra money I have from my job and from what I do online will be used to whatever I need in Europe. I will have to buy some clothing before I go, because I want to feel fresh and good while I am there, so I will probably drop some money on that; I have been working so hard lately, so I just need to spoil myself. I am 18 and just have car insurance and gas to worry about, so I am going to enjoy my money before I will have to think seriously about getting a home, etc., I have always thought about those things and saved up money, but it's about darn time that I really do something for myself... I work very hard and I feel like some kind of robot, doing a routine and not getting any enjoyment, so this end of the year and new years will be the best time of my life!

As soon as i get my mylot earnings, i transfer from my paypal to my bank account. Since its my checking account i use it when ever i'm short of cash and i'm trying to buy anything with my card. Or when i'm saving i just let the mylot earning build up so that i can save for something bigger.

I have not reached a pay out yet but I think I'm going to use it to go out to eat with my husband. I set my pay out for $50 so that should get us a nice meal.

It would depend on my financial status at the time. It is nice to save up for something special and I always start little side funds for just those purposes but if something happens and I need to use the money, well I would use it for the necessities first. A great night out sounds good to me!
