Like myself for example. Today marks the second time I've spent all of my money (and then some) entering events while not paying attention to the cost to enter.
So, needless to say, instead of getting the Grasslands, I'll be getting back into the positives.
Oi vey.

its easy to get money by taking exams, and having high prestige. prestige can be boosted by getting high rarity animals, so maybe you should focus on that.
if you cant afford good animals, you can boost your prestige with training animals for free. they boost your prestige, make you money, and your also trianing someone else animal. its a win-win.
you also make money by hosting events.

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to see if anyone needs training done--seems like the most helpful all around.
I'm thinking of also offering drawn renderings of people's prized pets.

if you offer training, its best to save up your turns till you have 200-300. and then do all the training at once. cause if you do it every day, its tiring to make, accept, and end leases. and once people find out that you offer training you can get leases for like 30-40 animals, and you dont want to have to go through accepting and ending them every day.
i would be interesting in sending over a few animals if you do. i will be sure to send over an AE/AE, they really boost prestige =]

Thanks again. I'll save up my exams for a few days, then you can send a couple over.

My biggest problem is still not paying attention to the cost of events in the first place.

well, look at the grand prize. larger prizes means a more costly entry fee =[

I know. I just usually get so caught up in entering event after event, I stop looking at prize/entry cost and just browse by animal/enclosure.

I'm not Forgetful for nothin'.

It's all right Forgetful! My very first event I ever entered in I accidentally counted the 0's wrong, and ended up with several mill negative! It took me a while to get back to positives, but I did eventually! Hey, if you ever need any cash on an emergency situation, just let me know!

Bratterratt Very Happy

Aww, thanks so much! Let's hope I never get that desperate, or I'll have to ask John or Nef to change my player name to Stupid.
