I've been spending a bit of isk lately and I just remembered back about 5 months ago when I started playing that 1mil isk was a bit of isk. I think in the last week I've probably spent 100mil or more on skill books and some other crap.
I'm just curious how much people usually fly around with. I'm only flying a Domi for missions mainly and nothing bigger so I know people with cap ships and such probably have a lot more isk going in and out of their wallet every day but what does the average player have on them? Do you save up for stuff or just spend when you got it? I seem to spend as soon as I get it heh

I try to keep 400M on my character at all times so that I can get a GTC if I ever needed in a pinch.

When I first started playing EVE (with my old, now sold, toon) I used to hoarde ISK like crazy, now however, nearly 2 years on and with my shiny new toon, I seem to spend it no more than a few minutes after its hit my wallet. Maybe when Im older (in game) I'll go back to those old habits.

Since NSN is a communistic corp i don't have cash handy. I keep some isk for new snakes or slaves when I get podded but the corp pays for everything else. A typical HAC with fittings goes for around 100-200 mil (full t2 fitting). BS around 200mil. I spend about 25mil a day (on average, taking into account lost ships and purchases of skills and such).

Under 20mil. I only bother with making isk when I need to buy something.

I usually have a couple hundred mil and save it for when I am almost finished training for a big money making thing, then go on a spending spree and make it all back with what I spent it on.

Since I find the only use for money is to spend, I usually have very little. I do have, however, lots of shiny mods and insured ships. I find them to be much more useful than X amount of ISK collecting dust in my wallet for when I 'decide' to buy something.
Maybe that's why I PVP in frigates. _____________ Hai. |

I prefer to keep over 1.2 bil in my wallet. I won't go lower than 750m. I have enough in assets to keep me occupied in my piracy for quite a while. _______________________ Retired CEO of DOMNI

I just bought my first Battleship. With fitting and insurance, i easily spent over 200 million. I am now left with a bit over 250 million in ISK.
ugh, just the thought of all that money gone gives me the shakes.

With a lot of isk that is ingame, the inflation can be quite bad overtime like before things were much cheaper. Honestly, it's safe to have at least a bil in wallet at most if things happen to go bad as far as buying a new ship & fitting one out. With every change going on in eve, ships and mods go up or down in price depending on what is good and bad. Lot of stuff changed over the course of 2 years or so all the way to the start of when eve first came out.

I was lucky and killed a serp rat which dropped an implant after about a week of play. Sold that for 55 mill i think.
Probably have anything between 500 mill and 4 bill max over a couple of accounts at any time

I keep my wallet high enough to make investments when needed, but low enough to ensure that all my assets are out there, making me money, rather than sitting in my wallet earning nothing. -- My Sig got pwnt by Cortes :( |

It depends largely what you do. I need about 2 billion ISK due to manufactor/invention. If I just did missions and some pvp I might just need 100-200mil. Abstraction and Transcendence: Nature, Shintai, and Geometry |

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 19/03/2008 21:18:21 Roughly 2B now. I have some assets (BPOs, replacement T2 gear, skillbooks I'll need, etc, etc) and a few fitted and ready ships to jump in when the one I'm in explodes.
Realistically, 250M is all I need for pirating to have a very solid "ISK cushion" in case I have a really bad streak (I only had one when I started, really).
Piracy is a, well, process. You need some ISK to get things started, and you need a reserve in case you have a bad streak (because, honestly, losing ships is a matter of when and not if). So you need roughly 250M to kick things off imo.

I spent over 1 billion in the last couple days buying and fitting ships. I never let it drop below 400 million. I usually have close to a billion though.

If you thought 1 mil was a lot 5 months ago, even if you were new, you should have been here 4 years ago. It took me days and days to get my first mil. I actually had to save up for frigs.

I've gotten to the point where I consider myself poor and I get all antsy if the wallet gets under 1 billion.

0-400 mil, can't wait to get a better job so I can buy time with money and spend my isk on nice things.
I do have a lot of crap I don't use though, such as various cruisers, 2 tier 3 bs's I never use, some t2 frigs. I really need to sell some of my junk.

Opportunity before comfort - I used to like having 500m+ in wallet , but they gave me a passive income in the form of bargain deals so a good part of my ISK is held in buy orders , between 100 and 200m in wallet but at least 2 billions in assets. Not that I'm a serious trader really.

I have about 37mil right now.. which sucks. I had over 500 at one point, but 2 battleships and tech2 fittings for both killed that. I need to start doing missions and what not, but I'm lazy and really don't care if I have 37ml or 370mil. Not like I need to buy anything.
