Damn oldbies...they're like the grandmas and grandpas that go 10 miles under the speed limit and count pennies at the grocery store! xD

Bwahahaa xD
My grandmother does that! Sadly, my mother does too... ;>.> ... <.<;

I love oldbies, cos I'm a nostalgic person by nature. But yes, nostalgia can go too far, I guess. Like when my mother sees a pair of jeans for $40, and has a fit, not realizing that these days, that's a pretty decent price. xP

so. yeah. 20k = kinda broke. sweatdrop


xP I'd never pay $40 for jeans! o.O;;;; Where the hell do you shop?

But yeah, I NEVER let myself fall below 100k for more than a week. I feel like a bum.


rofl - I don't mean it's a great price, but as regular price goes, $40 ain't bad. We hardly ever pay regular price, though, so... also, everything costs a damn arm and a leg here. Jeans less than that are the cheapest kind, that fall apart in a couple of months, or the buttons fall off, or the denim's like paper or something. xP

I've been at about 99k for a week now. I'm just straggling along, and I don't like it. ):
I do remember, though, when I thought 1k was a lot of gold. I joined when you could sell your sealeds to the shops, and I fell into that trap more than once.
 
     

I have the heart of a child.
It's in a jar on my desk.

Man, it was a loooong time ago, before the cash shop, back when 20k was OMFG YOU'RE RICH. But I did sell DIs to reach it. A lot of DIs...

I got past 250k pure sometime last year, when I was playing the market and Exchange for my Hermes'. xd

I'm sure my item-wealth went past 250k in my first few months... *shrugs*

I rarely have under 70k pure on me, so I feel 'rich' in a sense. And deppending by some peoples' views on status, I'd be middle-class. [worth over 1.4m] biggrin

Dx Don't you have an old navy or a marshalls or TJmaxx there? I mean, I get all my jeans for under 20 bucks and some I've been wearing for 3 years.

Yeah, we do... but even then, the decent ones cost more. Stores like that don't sell things for the same price across the board; it depends on where you live. Around here, they like to gouge you. I've gone across to the next state, and found the same thing in the same store chain for cheaper than the store near my house.
I think Old Navy doesn't do that, but I don't have one near me, so it depends on if I can get a ride.
Inflation (even AI) hits you wherever you go. ):

"xX ManiacStorm Xx"
I'm dark, and sensitive with low self-esteem.
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween.


The highest I've been up to without selling anything is 10k. sweatdrop

I'm a packrat I know. But I'm guessing:

Highest class: Over 20 mil
High class: 1 mil-19mil
Middle class: 100k-1mil
Lower class: 10k-100k
Poor: Below 10k

That's how I see it. neutral

I have no real problems, but I like to make believe.
I stole my sister's mascara, now I'm grounded for a week



Highest class 20 mil+?
Uh, no Dx Because I am definitely NOT "Highest Class" regarding my account's worth.
I'd probably rather say Highest Class is 100 mil+ or something like that.

250k took me... 5 days, I think.
Sold 4 or 5 pieces of avatar art within less than one week.
Oh, that was waaaay back when I still worked hard for my gold and didn't donate x_x
Now I just donate a bit to invest. That's so boring xD

When I joined last year (June) it took me about 3-4 months to earn 250k.

In all honesty I spent 4 dollars on MC's and tattoos did come out during that time I believe...

I haven't reached that much yet D: I have over 110k, and I might have more if I didn't spend my gold once I get past like 130k. 3nodding

I think I hit 250k after a few months... probably around May last year. Of course, during then, I spent ALL the gold I made on artwork until I started saving and questing for items. I made everything from doing artwork, so that's how I earned that much so quickly, not just from regular posting or playing the marketplace.

If you're talking pure gold, I've never had over 50k at one time. But, if you're talking about item worth then I have no idea. I've been gathering stuff on here for so long, and I just recently found that TekTek tool that tells you how much you're worth. (over 2mil, if anyone cares whee )

I think my worth probably hit the 250k mark around the time Kiki Kitties started inflating like mad. I bought mine for about 43k, and they've just gone up from there.

Ive seen a lot of people seeling art through the forums, how do they play a part in gaia or is it just nice to own. I could never create anything like that but is investing a good idea? If so any advice on what to look out for

I vended a bit last year and got myself to 250k pretty quick (Just a guess, I don't even remember). I spent my first 500k on penguin slippers...that were Ai'd. xD~

    I have never made 250k without having to buy MC's/CSI's. I don't gain gold very fast. I can't vend for crap and I have no artistic abilities to sell, therefore I very rarely have more then 20k on hand unless I am questing or bought MC's/CSI's to sell. I fail at Gaia for the most part. gonk xd

    All of my items either came from donations (which isn't very many. XD) or I bought them before they inflated to the point where I give up all hope of getting them (500k+).

    I am worth a pretty penny though. <<
