How much ISK should I be making

I've been playing eve for just on a year.

I only have one account. My main is curently a pirate. Not much isk there so far. My two alts are ninja salvagers (not much there) and a station trader to whom I pay very little attention (not much more, but could be).

All in all, I don't make very much isk. I instead rely on the funds that I have built up over time (somewhere near a billion) and the stock of assets which I have built up over time. I have now decided to blow my stock of isk on HACs and AF's in pvp. In my opinion, isk is meant to be burnt or at least used.

However, this raises the question of how the heck I am going to get my isk back when I want to start buying new vagas. Don't worry, I'm not asking for isk making tips. Rather I am looking for a decent benchmark to measure myself against. Essentially, I was wondering how much isk the average player of approximately a year old (or say, 12 - 15 mil sp) makes (gross) per month?

I do understand that the amount would vary depending upon what you are doing... however, is there a benchmark for monthly income?

I usually try to have 300m in my wallet so I can replace instantly any ship I fly (BS the biggest type I use). Once I have this much, I stop caring for making ISK, even gifting it to new players in my corp etc (especially, when drunk).

About the income: Think about how much you usually loose per month.

I blow up on average:
two SBs = 70m
two cruisers = 60m
some frigates = 20m
a BS every other month (1/2 * 100m) = 50m

additionally I buy some new skills every now and then: 10m

SUM: 210m

So I aim at roughly 210m income per month (I am not buying PLEX usually), since I know I will waste any surplus anyway :D

if my teacher saw this… he’d ask if 0.21 ISK is a lot… ^^; (m = milli, M = mega) anyway… calculating how muc hyou use per month is a nice idea ^^
