Your first big chunk of money

[Evil Chris]

What did you do with it?
Spend it on something nice for yourself?
What?

[Hooper]

if you spend it you'll probably never get another chunk. re-invest.

[JR]

i personally invested it back in my own businesses. i have an obsession with future planning and making sure that i will never have to worry about money.

[Mike AI]

You have to define big chunk. One person's big chunk, is another persons chump change.

Once I started making money I bought my first house, I actually built it. It was a great house, sometimes I wish I still had it.

[Sharpie]

My first meaningful checks were from IGallery & MaxCash. $6 grand, for making money while I sleep - those were the days!

Of course, I reinvested it....

[Evil Chris]

yes yes we all re-invested into the business... I am talking about what you personally did for yourself...

[BradShaw]

I took my big chunk at first and bought a new car, dodge Durango, then a corvette. I am much smarter now, I hope!

[Peaches]

I paid off money I borrowed from Dad with 100% interest. That made me feel good. :)

HEHE I remember those days.

My first thing I ever bought, I guess my first big purchase was a 1997 Ram 4X4 King Cab loaded. I was driving an old Toyota - the small one, had no radio in it. So I had to upgrade.

After the house, I wanted a fast car so I bought a Vette - I had planned on financing it, but the finance lady at dealership was being a bitch, so I took out check book and paid for it right there. It was worth it to see her eyes.

OF course I still have both cars. Truck has like 30k miles on it, the Vette I just broke 10k the other day.

[TeenGodFather]

Still to come. I spend all my income on expanding. I barely take enough money to eat. I think my biggest purchase with my porn money was either my car (1.2 liter renault clio, lol) or my and my girls trip to internext = $10k

Partner up with me, I have no problems wasting money.. but I have a hard time getting enough. :)

[OldJeff]

I upgraded my computer to a 486, bought a new Yugo (financed) and was able to go to McDonalds twice a week.

I am up to 3 trips a week to Mc Donalds :D

[Evil Chris]

Interesting... lot's of new car purchases. hehe...

I took my first big chunk of change and put it all down on my mortgage. B)

[SykkBoy]

I was one of the idiots thinking that those Busty Amateur checks would keep rolling in month in and month out....

I also invested in a house that burned to the ground :)

Peaches, the scan of this check was MORE than anybody could post at that time,
it gave webmasters warm and fuzzy feeling they would be paid....
I made MORE from that scan that from that check

[webgurl]

what big chunk of money ?? :(

[slavdogg]

fuck if i could remember what i bought 7 years ago.
i was always making my own money so new money from the internet wasnt a big deal to me other than the fact that i was able to party more.

and than few years later after reinvesting most into the biz early on i was able to buy myself a white picket fense and the house that came with it.

Actually i'm most proud of buying my parents a condo near the beach and cars for mom, dad and bro, well and myself a Rolex :)
