I brought this subject up in most part because of this:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising_on_Wikipedia which is linked
to from User:Jimbo Wales. This gave me the impression that it was
something he was considering in the back of his mind all the time.
Reading it also gave me the impression that we may get to the point
where we have to implement ad's. Now, on weather or not Jimbo will be
the deciding factor, you will have to ask him weather or not he will let
the community choose on closing the wikipedia vs. ad's.

I can't figure out why you think this.
Do you mean that Jimmy might impose it on us against our wishes? Or that
we'll be forced to do it in order to survive financially? Both of these
scenarios seem rather unlikely to me (but perhaps you have some other
reason in mind).
I think that Ec is right that we should budget first.
