Money $aving
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to save money on here? I mean seriously, I can never make over 1,000 gold! It's madness I tell you, MADNESS! I think the problem with me is that I like to buy stuff on sale... no matter what it is. From crumpled pieces of paper, to inks, to clothes (even if it's men's clothing eek ), I can't seem to stop myself from going into the market place and seeing what's on sale! I also think the problem with me is the fact that I have no motive for saving. Oh sure, every once in a while I'll see something I like and try to save for it, but then I get distracted and see something shinny... and low and behold, I'm back to 0 again!
Here's another thing: over pricing. Have you noticed how over priced some things get. Take for example the Fresh Grass Skirt. That single piece of clothing is over 120,000 gold. WHY IN THE WORLD IS IT SO EXPENSIVE!??! I could just go outside, pick grass, tie it into a skirt, and *BAM* instant Fresh Grass Skirt. I guess some people say how hard it is to get it and that it's the thought of the matter, but I still don't understand! That dang skirt isn't even cute! It's hideous!!! It looks like cow feed!!! Yet people spend hard earned money to buy and actually WEAR that skirt! How ridiculous is that?!?
Okay, the more I think about, me not being able to save money is not entirely my fault. Gaia doesn't have a savings account in the bank... in fact you can't make any accounts in the back. What the heck is the bank good for then?!?! I mean, yeah trading is great and all, but when I need to save money for that 10,000 gold shirt or that 100,000 gold aura thingy that I don't even know the name of, where the heck do I put that, huh?!? What about the security factor?!? What if I get hacked?!? I have to carry around 100,000 gold because the stupid bank can't carry my account because they're to busy making trades!!! stressed stressed stressed So if I ever get robbed... it's the banks fault, not mine! Hmph! Stupid bank... stare
Here's another problem with money saving: my computer is retarded.(Yeah, I know this isn't exactly a Gaian problem, but it is a problem none the less.) Most people can do everything in Gaia. They can go to the towns, play games, fish, even decorate houses and cars. Not me. You see my computer has a vendetta against me. It refuses to let me play any of the games WHATSOEVER, I can't walk anywhere in the towns (infact, I can't even access the towns because my computer has that much hatred for me stare ), and I'll be lucky if I can even see my car or home! How the heck am I gonna raise any money when all I can do is walk around in circles on the Gaian map?!?! I barley raised enough to buy a store and vending license!! MAN DOES IT SUCK!!!!
So anyways, I'm not just ranting on how I can't save money because of my obsession with the market place or because Gaia refuses to make bank accounts to make my life easier, it's just the thought of the matter. Saving money, when it gets down to the nitty gritty, is tough and for most Gaians the journey is the hardest part. For me, however,... EVERYTHING is the hardest part...
