I used my first batch of earned ISK to purchase an incredibly large plot of land on a planet in the Kor-Azor region.
Once construction is completed(which should be fairly soon I'm told), my entire remaining planetbound family - Mother, Father, Grandparents, 3 Sisters, 5 Brothers - will be relocated from Mishi IV to the luxurious new grounds.
How about you Summit folk? I know it has likely been quite a long time since you first gained the benefits of a Capsuleer, but do you remember what you did with your first batch of ISK? |

I probably spent my first million on synthetic coffee, Iteron I and some data sheets about buttslapping. |

I spent my first million on a Rifter and name-brand fittings. With what was left over, I bought another Rifter.... Just in case. Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames. [email protected] - OOC Forums for EVE's RP Community |

My first million went down the drain when I wasted half a dozen expensive suits during a contract. Immortality is overrated. |

This, let the money work for you. I didn't major in business for nothing.
Now the millions that came after, that's another story altogether. aÑÉ |

First million? It went with the rest of the first billion or so - as I recall, the instructions were something like "Here's the money for an Obelisk, and the list of supplies we need. Get moving."
Slightly shocking to suddenly be handed that kind of money after having to more or less scrape through the academy. I hadn't seriously expected to put the freighter training to use for ages. |

After five years, I'm not really even sure what the first million ISK I earned went towards. Probably toward fitting a Catalyst or Incursus that I used while doing freelance work for the Navy early on.
As I started earning money, I began to stick with a "buffer" policy on the liquid assets in my wallet - as my wallet balance passed certain levels, I would designate everything under that an "emergency fund" and avoid touching it. For a long time this point was located roughly around 2 billion ISK (I'd set it at about 500 million and 1 billion before that), but since then now it is several times that.
I can easily afford most things I would want at this point, but I still find this artificial restriction helps keep me mindful of my spending and how much I earn. Morwen Lagann Director, Tyrathlion Interstellar |

my first million was part of fifty million donated to me by a friend as a "welcome to immortality" present.
I believe I spent some of that money on a Cormorant. I don't recall what happened to the Cormorant. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

I saved it, because I was looking at the prices of bigger, better ships on the market and became stunned. I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way. |

That was so long ago that I honestly can't remember. If forced to guess I'd say that it was likely used to buy a Slasher. I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused. |

First million? I think I used part of it to upgrade the existing fittings on my Punisher - my first real, active hull - and the rest got saved away to start a 'buy me a cruiser' fund.
"Upgrade" being a relative term, though. I look at that thing now and wince at the equipment it has on it. |

I wish I could remember what I spent my first Million on, but Like Lord Pitoojee, I most likely spent it on a Punisher and fittings for it. |

I fully admit I spent most of it on... frivolous things that had held my attention for much of my previous life. But in my defense, such is the effect of jumping from having nothing to everything in such a sudden, unexpected manner. |

First ever million isk? Not quite sure, but my best guess... skillbooks, lots of skillbooks. Was a lot more than a million all told if i'm honest Not indicative of corporate policy unless otherwise stated. |

point taken. but that is a lot of lost suits.
wait, are we talking about suits that look nice and impress ladies, or suits that stop bullets? |

These are DUST ground unit dropsuits.
Though some ladies can be intrigued by men in armor as well, I hear. "I was dreaming once, and I dreampt of a world where I was nothing more than a biological fitting; a slave to the machine and crew, instead of the other way around. Don't you wonder at how easy it would have been for this scenario to happen, instead of how it actually unfolded?" |

Ah.

My first million isk went towards a Stabber, which got butchered minutes later in low security. What a terrible way to learn the ways of combat, but I don't regret it one bit. |

It was probably spent on either furthering my education or mining vessals. At the time I was a Capsuleer miner in...Jouvulen if I remember correctly. Me and many others. Through that I found the people that became part of my first Corporation.
Really, your first million ISK is inconsequential. Your first month or so though, that makes far more of an impact on one's career. |

About a third of mine was spent on training that would help me train other skills quicker, back before those courses were integrated into the undergraduate courses. The rest was spent on other basic training, and an Imicus of all things. |

To clarify, I am talking about advanced level dropsuits, with advanced tech and modules. Since I had no clue what to do with them at the time, my first million quickly burned on those suits. Immortality is overrated. |
