Your first big amount of money
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.

big money
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...
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

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!!
