When you got into the online business, what did you do with the first large amount of money you made?

Did you spend it on something nice for yourself? What?

I took it and put all of it down on my mortgage.

Yep. Same here. Still paying off that mortgage. I'd like a new car but it's hard to justify at this point.

Well the 1st really big money i made from one of my avs sites , I have to say i went and bought some exclusive content to get away from the content that the avs provided and might i say was saturated to the max!
As for myself I want to Atlantic City and turned what was left into MORE MONEY! And I got lucky while i was at it! It was a great week-end and i have earned many big checks since.

re-investing is certainly important... :xthumbs:

Black Dog... I returned the Mercedes a couple years ago and traded it in for an SUV. Much more practical with a new baby.

The first big money I made was never paid for. LOL
I got fucked, and it hurt really bad. Now its in the past though.

The revenue of the following big projects were reinvested, with very little personal use. I like to travel though, and thats what I do with it besides saving. :)

But basically, Reinvesting is the keyword here!

Take care,

Bruno Dickman :xthumbs:

The excess beyond what I needed went, and still goes, to my family who have been having some really rough times. Yes, it's been a while... but I will keep sending them what ever I can for as long as they need it.

As soon as my first large amount gets here, I'm going to buy a new toothbrush. I can't recall ever regretting the money I've spent on a new toothbrush.

The year was 1995, shortly after that Lightspeed chap taught me how to make web pages. I was running a daily swimsuit site and getting decent traffic. Some guy emails me and says he'll pay me $2k to put a banner up on my site for him. I told him to send me a check and blew it off. A few days later I got the check. It was for a preggo site. The next month he wants two banners - and offers me $4k. I'm in.

He did this for about four months total.

Don't remember what I did with the money but it sure didn't go to hookers and drugs since I don't do either of them.....

But I was hooked!

I've always had 3 incomes, (bartending) so when I started this biz I just saved every penny that I made and went travelling with some of it and the rest I put into rrsp's...at least 20 years from now or when I buy a house I'll have some good ol porn $$$ to use!!:D
