I spent some of our Haynesville shale money wisely. Right after I got the new truck and bass boat I carried my wife to Shreveport and got he a set of big honking breast implants. We refer to them as her Haynesville Hooters.
Well, since we're discussing how we spent the shale money...I thought I would take the opportunity to disclose some of the things we have spent our shale money on. lol
*1 yr of private school tuition for daughter
*Used Chevy Cavalier (since hubby and I were sharing 1 car before)
*3 trips to Dallas for some shopping and exploring the zoos
*07 Saturn Vue
*50" flat screen tv
*Plastic surgery for myself...aka "mommy makeover"
*LASIK surgery for myself
*Miniature Dachshund...aka "Pooka"
*Helping my mom out financially since she is having a hard time finding a job
*XBOX 360 for hubby and our 5 yr old daughter
*Stocks
*Oh...and we are in the process of buying 4.5 acres in Waskom with a little efficiency cottage.
***Plans to buy 2 IRA's in the near future
***Plans to invest in some annuities in the near future
Yes, we've been making quarterly tax payments and still have plenty to pay the taxes when they are due.
An abdominoplasty and breast lift with implants. The LASIK was in June and the plastic surgery in July. Now, I'm working to put back the money I spent on the surgery and to get me out of the house. I was spending WAY too much time on here. lol
It's more than we have ever seen, yeah. We own 78 acres in Desoto, 38 of which we just leased to Petrohawk in May. 40 acres currently under lease, due to expire at the end of Dec 08.
Good for you getoverit! You sound like you have spent your $ in a well rounded way...you gotta have some fun along with the responsible stuff, and helping out someone else. Thanks for sharing, it was nice to read!
