Reinvestment vs. Pocketing of earnings
 

Of your monthly earnings, how much do you reinvest, and how much do you put in your pocket?

I'm interested to see how the more successful peoples strategies stack up next to that of the smaller/new people.

I reinvest every cent I can. Seriously, I'm young, I'm not living super-large. I'm more worried about living large when I'm old and the only way to do that is to invest now.

Sometimes lot, sometimes small amount

You should mark a % of your income for reinvestment in what is getting you paid in the first place. The Profit that you keep is what you invest in other things.

Solid logic.

So is there a predominant ratio of reinvestment into existing revenue streams | investment in new revenue streams | money in pocket?

just pick any number you can miss from your bizz, pocket it without spending it. Keep that. Do it every month.
You never know what comes along your path!
you'll thank me later.

While I am probably a bit older, I do more a less the same thing.

Save when the market is growing, reinvest when the market is slowing :2 cents:

i dont understand why u would want to save when the market is growing? why not take advantage of that....

i think no matter what the situation, i am reinvesting year round... just pick wisely and do your research. No matter what, i always put 10% of earnings away into a separate account as well as my sofsep (401K).

i am trying to reinvest max 50% of mine revenues ... that is reinvesting money .... and i reinvest 100% of mine time for only working in this business...

Reinvest 70%
Savings 20%
Income 10%

General breakdown.
