I need finical advice

[MC_Kejml]

Guys, all of you are telling him not to buy things he doesn't need. However, when you put it that way, what do you need except bread, water, and air?

 

 

 

I'm also suggesting the topic maker is young, so hey, he wants to enjoy his life when he can, he's in the "best ages", how we call them...

 

 

 

When his life will be killed behind a desk in a job beginning in 8 AM and ending 4 PM, it will not be a life he can enjoy as much as when he is young.

 

 

 

/OT

 

 

 

My suggestion is loans, selling cigarettes ( you can even try the one beginning with w, ending with d and has two e's in it. However, I do not encourage dealing with those, since it's very dangerous.)

 

 

 

A part-time job, selling clutter at home you don't need anymore, maybe even ask to borrow some cash from your parents ( and offer it will be deducted from your monthly pocket money, if you are getting that)

 

 

 

Well, that's from top of my head. And don't take my OT too seriously, I do not want a flame war here. So you can have the last word and pwn me into oblivion.

 

 

 

Hope it helped :)

Great advice. Sell weed so he can get an xbox and play some paintball. :roll: Yea, we don't need 90% of the stuff we buy, but he can't afford any of it. He doesn't have a job or any constant means of making money.

 

 

 

OP: I'd agree with most everyone else; you really don't need any of those things. I get that you want them, but you can go without them until you get a steady job. At the least, I'd skip the xbox and laptop, those are the most unnecessary. You obviously have access to a computer, and you aren't doing anything important enough to warrant your own computer.

[Infi]

Stop here.

 

 

 

Look at the way you're buying things. You'll get a laptop, but you'll need games, so you'll need more money for that. You want a ski pass, but you need money to afford for that hobby. You like paintballing, so you might go out for more than one night on the odd week.

 

 

 

You'll just pay off the $800 now, and roll up more debt later.

 

 

 

Just stop buying things you don't need. Sure, I'd love to be able to buy a load of DS games, but I can't. That's life.

 

You may want to look into an R4 :-$

Ok. Let me set a few things straight. for now,i need only $210, now $180. Im not asking your opinions about what im getting, im looking for a way to make money. And as for the laptop and xbox games and what not, those are things i would like if i could afford them, and whats wrong with that? and do i "need" them? No. Do i need a house? No, i could live on the street. In other words, we as humans want many things, but we dont need them. Again, those are things I would like to buy, but don't have the money, which is why i posted this thread, not to hear about your opinions about how the things I like are stupid. Im sure many posters here like to do things, why should i stop if they were expensive, and have to work for them. I'm personaly not going to stop doing the things i enjoy, and i really dont care what you think.

I'm not planning on using my laptop for games. I personaly hate non-online comp games.

 

 

 

Ski pass...How do i need money for that? I have skiis, helemet, and everything i need basically. I just enter and leave the hill. Apart from lunch, i won't be buying anything.

 

 

 

Paintballing... You got me on that one, though the place i go to is only open on weekends, and sunday is me "sleep-in and do nothing" day.

[Sbrideau]

That's easy, just sell your RS gp! GWD can make you a few mil an hour, let's say 3 if you have decent luck. Depending on how much gp goes for now, I'd say $4-5, that's $12-15 an hour, doing something you like to do. That's 55-70 hours of doing something you like, and you can pay off all your debts, AND buy a new laptop.

 

 

 

Problem solved, no need to thank me.

 

 

 

Heh, that made me think, OP could sell his main on ebay or something :twss:

 

 

 

I actually have a friend that did that, and he made $1k with an account that is not as good as your main lol.

 

 

 

I suggest not to break Jagex rules though, and I think you don't want to lose that account lol.

Where do you live? There's nowhere around where I live that we can go ski without paying -.-

Skipass...as in, year round ski pass, AKA membership

Well not only is it strictly agaisnt rules, but if rules aren't a concern for you, while trying to make pure real life profit from Runescape GP, you'll eventually have to use certain wealth transfer patterns (such as bounty hunter tricks to die intentionally), and Jagex tracks those carefully & likely have computer models to calculate which players are abusing the system, dying too often, etc.

 

 

 

Is it worth losing an account over? A few measly bucks... And if you get caught for gold selling, which is pretty much Jagex's public enemy #1, they will likely ban all accounts linked to your IP address, which means you lose your main account, PK accounts, possible other accs etc...

 

 

 

It's just not a lucrative business, don't do it.

[Nadril]

It's not like breaking the Jagex rules is a big deal, you'd just get banned. There are plenty of ways to get past an IP ban too to make new characters (which I won't go into, but it's possible).

 

 

 

 

 

Just saying if the OP doesn't want to get a job for some reason he could go into selling gold, or selling his runescape account. Probably could make at least a bit off of that. Although selling gold / accounts can be a pain, and if he doesn't have a credit card or bank account it isn't going to help.

 

 

 

 

 

Why can't you get a job though?

I was sarcastic, that's why I put the :twss: emote -.- I beleive my friend didn't care for his account when he did this.

[Wizz]

Get a job? Also the reason they are calling you a kid is because

 

1. THATS A HELLA ALOT OF MONEY YOUR ASKING, I make that much money in about 8 hours O.O

 

2. You spelled Financial wrong and your first post is littered with misspelling and bad Grammar, and some slang.

 

3. It is a recreational toy your asking about.

 

 

 

Maybe you can sell a few things you don't want?

 

 

 

 

 

You make $100 an hour? Wow I wish I lived your life

 

Whoops forgot a 0 >.<

 

I make Roughly 10$ an Hour >.> let me fix it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't make 100 dollars an hour. Stop being a BSer.

 

 

 

Anyway, on topic. Mug people.

 

 

 

God, forgot a 0. Not the Biggest Mistake -.- *World blows up*

Although selling gold / accounts can be a pain, and if he doesn't have a credit card or bank account it isn't going to help.

 

 

 

 

OP could also start playing another game in which gold has more demand, and enjoy playing the game while earning real world $$. Some games openly allow, or even promote real world trading (anarchy online/second life comes to my mind)

 

 

 

Since he's a kid living at his parents and getting all expenses paid for, that has it's perks over the chinese WoW sweatshop worker who is employed by a man enforcing his 14-hour shifts with a firearm... He would get to pocket all his profits, he can take breaks whenever he wants, not play at all on some days, select his buyers, etc.

 

 

 

Gold selling isn't some big ugly demon Jagex has set it out to be, but in their game, it is. So why bother when you're just likely going to lose your GP & months/years of work on your account after Jagex tracks it down to you? Rather play some other game for profit which has less strict rules about gold selling, less stress & more profit.

 

 

 

If I was forced to make money fast with online games, I'd even take Lineage/WoW gold selling over Runescape any day. There's so many games where profitable real world trade can be made, RuneScape isn't one of them (anymore).

The problem, of course, is that he just wants some fast cash. Obviously Runescape isn't as lucrative but selling an account would be a quick way.

 

 

 

Also I am fairly sure Anarchy Online does not promote RMT. They do have their own cash shops for certain special items (like vehicles) but they don't actively promote other players buying and selling gold.

 

 

 

And really, selling WoW gold would be a pain too. 500 gold is currently $12.49, and farming 500 gold is near impossible in a decent time unless you are 70 with a decent mount. Sure you could probably mark up the price a bit to younger kids who don't know better, but I'm not sure if a new person would manage to break even with $15 a month.

 

 

 

 

 

Not to mention gold farmers are still really annoying, and I do dislike the gold selling business just due to their decisive ways. I've only sold accounts when I was in need of cash, and quitting a game. Of course I do regret that (sold my EQII and old WoW account) but at the time it gave me a few hundred bucks so whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing he could do is power level a WoW character to 60 or 70 and sell it. Could probably sell a new level 70 for $150 or so, although it would take probably at least 7-8 days / played. 192 hours for $150-$250 is really bad.

Yeah the pay sucks big time compared to the time spent, you're essentially working for about $1 per hour, you'd earn 5x the amount even flipping burgers at McDonald's..

 

 

 

But if he's too young to get an actual job, that's an option :lol: And some could say it's not even a job really... If you can enjoy leveling an online character. I couldn't do it for cash, but a lot of people can.

[Nadril]

Yeah, I mean, it is always an option. Just not a very profitable one.

[Sbrideau]

Man I didn't mean to turn the conversation this way #-o

[Sumpta]

As long as we're talking about legal ways of making money, especially when we're talking about the rather insane amount of 830 $:

 

- either you're old enough to work, be it a student job, menial tasks, using a talent (playing music, graphical design,...) or a 'real' job

 

- or you depend on others (parents, grandparents,...) and can only hope to win their affection and save what little they like to give you

 

 

 

When option 1 and option 2 aren't possible, the only thing you can do is economise and wait for better times. It's what we all do when we want something we haven't got the money for, job or no job: tighten the belts, drop some of the things we don't really need and save. Welcome to the adult world, kid :P.
