I don't really have an exact figure for how much I use it for, but essentially, it's an expense. I use it to buy food, as well as some payments for goods and services, but mostly it's food.

Now that I'm working, it's easier for me because even though I don't have time to post daily, I convert the few rewards I get into HBDs as a way to save while waiting for the HIVE price increase. That would undoubtedly change everything and give us a significant advantage over the rest.
