."My first Adsense cheque arrived 25 months ago and had been 4 years in the making. I guess I've improved :)"

My adsense earnings have remained relatively constant over the past 4 years.

It is not much but get typically 2 or 3 direct deposit checks per year.

That's about enough to take my family out once a year to a high class restaurant like

The Chop House or two times to Red Lobster or Texas Roadhouse.

Most years however I use it to reinvest in my business.

The eat out expense then comes from our own non-Google income.

We try to hit at least one new non-franchise top class restaurant a year.

Our last anniversary was the Emeril Lagasse’s Chop House at the Sands
