I know for a fact, many freelancers invest, so how do you guys go about taking the time in putting investments forth. When is the best time to put money down for your business? How does one decide on putting that cash upfront and expand one's work? See there is a lot of thought that goes into decisions like this and we all have bills and things at home that we need to take care of. so when is it best to decide on putting that money into your work?

I pay my bills and buy food for me and my family, that's about it. Everything else goes into my business until I can get to a pinnacle where the profits seem to be maxed out. Once they seem to be maxed out, I start up another venture and do the same thing. This is obviously when you start up, not after you have 100 website all profiting $1,000 a day lol I wish I was making that much, but that's just an example.
You should always be boostrapping. If you're not, your business will crash and burn or you won't hit your pinnacle as soon as you should. Buy yourself something nice here and there, but don't waste your money on crap. Pay for what you need like your car, home, food, and an the random night out with your significant other. You don't need a bunch of fancy things at the start, those will come later after you have a few revenue streams up and running.
Whenever I pay myself from the profits of my websites I see it as a paycheck. I don't see it as I'm investing what's left in my account to push my business. If you can do this, you'll become successful Greed kills a lot of peoples businesses so don't fall into a trap and buy a car you don't need just because you can right now. Your money could dry up tomorrow and you'll have another 3 years of car payments that you're struggling to pay. I've been on both sides, the successful side and the struggling side because I paid myself too much and didn't bootstrap enough.
Take it from me, don't pay yourself more than you need. Bootstrap whatever you can and you'll see the profits increase month after month I think you have it backwards. You should think of it as your businesses money and not your own. Think of it as when should you invest in yourself. I pay my bills and buy food for me and my family, that's about it.
