My New Gather Goal

I have a new gather goal.

Previously I was gathering for Disneyland. With the help of my tax refund and gather, that goal became a reality and we took a one day trip to Disneyland. It was our first ever family trip there.

Now I want to save for a family trip to Morro Bay so that's what I'm going to try to Gather hard for. I've been with my two youngest kids but my oldest son stayed home because it was testing for school. This was a couple of years ago. My oldest son had gone to the beach with my grandparents once but he was much younger. So we've all been but not as a family. I want to go as a family so we can all enjoy it together.

What are you gathering for?

Sounds like a great goal. I had lunch in Morrow Bay but didn't get to spend any time there.

I am gathering for a new camera!

sometimes it is CVS cards for my daughters makeup collection, other times it is Target cards for myself, or Border's cards for books for my daughter and I to read

Wow, that trip sounds great!!!! I'm wanting to save for a cruise (possibly to the Carribbean) next summer.....this August we'll be married 30 years and I know hubby wants to go on a cruise, so that's what I'm working for!!!!! Or, some kind of a really nice trip, possibly overseas!!!
Sounds like a great idea to save up for! I'm using my paypal money to cash in for a camping trip this summer with the kids.

That sounds like a wonderful goal to save for Shannon. I am also saving for a family vacation to the beach. We have the beach close by, but I think we all need to get away for a couple of days, so I am saving up for a weekend trip to Key Largo.

Of course I'm also saving up for the baby's arrival, as well as for birthday and Christmas presents.

Hmmm . . . I don't have any goals at the moment. I'm just cashing out in $25 intervals to Paypal.

At one point I was saving for our Disneyland trip but now i'm not sure if thats going to happen so right now i'm undecided on what i'm saving for, lol
Great goal!
I'm gathering for spending money that I need when I am on the trips for my work.

I love the beach too. All my Gather and on-line money is going for a vacation with my kids to an eco-resort in the US Virgin Islands. I need to be in better shape before we go, so the trip is also my motivation for losing weight.

Good luck. I'll see if I can't help out. It's been a while since I went though your and Teresa's stuff.

I'm Gathering for a Playstation2. We only have Nintendos and it's time for a modern console that supports games with Gideon's favorite cartoon characters.

(Oh, and it has a CORALINE game.. that's worth buying the console for alone, LOL)

If I play my cards right I'll have the money in 6-8 weeks max. Plus money on amazon for the memory cards and a few used games.

sounds like fun! I'm gathering for a new laptop. I'm hoping to have it by June.
Crystal R. Mar 29, 2009, 2:14pm EDT
Sounds like a great goal. I'm gathering for extra spending money.
Daf W. Mar 29, 2009, 2:20pm EDT

Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Mar 29, 2009, 3:14pm EDT
I am Gathering for summer and school clothes. With three kids, clothes get expensive real quick. Plus shows and under garments and socks to boot. Target is great for all the above.
Trish A. Mar 29, 2009, 3:52pm EDT
I'm gathering for birthday and Christmas gifts for my family.
Christine G. Mar 29, 2009, 5:10pm EDT
Hope you reach your goal soon. I am gathering for PayPal to use when I go on vacation in June. Going to Nashville.
Tory H. Mar 29, 2009, 6:38pm EDT
I'm gathering for Breyerfest this summer.

Good luck with your goal!
Teresa W. Mar 29, 2009, 7:24pm EDT
I'm gathering for some books that my daughter and I want to read!!
Connie C. Mar 31, 2009, 4:40pm EDT
Good luck with your goal. With the economy the way it is, we are concerned about my husbands job so all my gather money is going to bills
Ashley M. Mar 31, 2009, 7:57pm EDT
I think everyone should see an ocean at least once in their lives. It is so awe-inspiring.
Cortney R. Apr 4, 2009, 12:39pm EDT
That's a great goal. I am hoping to make the $50 goal soon.

I hope gather will help me pay for internet service and raise funds for my show next year.
