I'm sitting on 202m isk.
I run basic gear 80%, advanced 10%, proto 5%, and officer 5%.
I go isk positive pretty much every match. I still don't run pro nonstop because 1. I'm afraid of going broke again even tho k probably won't, and 2, I'm trying to re-improve my skill.
I don't give isk away ( I have my reasons, although when I do, it's just 1m isk). I guess I just like seeing te number go up. Yeh I have 216m, it is cool to see the numbers go up and see no losses but 50m in gains in my wallet but you always want more, even though it's not fully satisfying so I'm thinking of what to do other than play the same way minmatar medium has quafe skin right?
I don't mind sounding like a 60's free-love hippie, so I say, in a game like Eve DUST 514, you're supposed to consider sharing it.
Join lesser-skilled squads that you secretly know are not going to be very efficient in the match because some of them are Newberrys and not yet skilled enough,...and fund them a couple of million each for the day. (To a Newberry, 2 million ISK is astonishing!)
Visit one of the educational Chat Channels, and when you spot a player who clearly is trying to learn, but is strapped for ISK, donate 4 million to just that player, so they can continue learning. (That player may remember you, and end up saving your life in a future PC match).
Or, just hang around this forum until you read about a player who got scammed our of her month's earnings, and it's given her a bad view of this game...and you can turn her attitude around by re-funding her the loss. If enough of us do this in the game, we'll become Scammers worst enemies.
 Incidentally, 216 million should NOT be considered a LOT of extra ISK lying around...
In a good Planetary Conquest match (no, not the PC matches we're having now, but the serious-mutha kind they used to have two years ago), you can expect to risk 10 million ISK in combat damage if you're a member of a defense-team hired by a Corp you've never worked with before.
You can expect to shell out 3 times that up front, as a CEO hoping to hire some Ringers to better your hope of winning a two-day long PC.
If your team loses the district, but the Capsuleer who hired you trusts you enough to pay you to try and take back what was lost,.... and so on, and so on.
An EVE game is about channeling your earnings somewhere else when you've made ISK----not recirculating it back into the same meat grinder you got it from. Hold onto your 200+ mill ISK, and think of it as a humble amount, in a future that is wide-open and a game that is still unknown.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
