Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeap. It's all the gaia cash, and the items you open that contain billions of gold. I myself am guilty but now I only have a bit over 6 bil and everything I want is like 16 bill...

You just have to wait it out. Some stuff goes down really drastically over time. Also try and see if you have some stuff worth selling you aren't using. I sold almost all my human items and got quite a few billion.

emotion_facepalm Usually I just give my items away.
A little afraid to do that now cuz
everythings worth so much emotion_donotwant

No need to feel guilty,
I'd buy a cart load of G Cash if I had the chance cat_3nodding

emotion_kirakira Must save up for Prized Possessions

I do give away quite a lot. But I make a lot too. I've been poor the past few years. Now that I'm rich again I am more afraid to spend and give out money, haha. Especially with this economy! I find it sad some animal items cost more than most of my human items put together. I sold almost everything human for about 11 bill. Now if I could sell my laurels, white body dye, and everything else I can't seem to let go of I would be super rich.

I've hardly made any tattoos. I'm such a lazy Gaian. I buy everything. I paid for my white body dye back when it was a few million. Now the MP average is 44 billion. That's so crazy. Maybe 1 day a month I'll be human to show off my nice human items. I actually kept more than I thought I did.. still have my Little Mermaid outfits, human and mermaid, haha. Bunch of angelic stuff, gold stuff, wings, tons of holiday stuff.. a few things that probably don't even match anything.. xD Once holidays roll around I'm gonna start selling my holiday stuff. That's one trick. Especially if it's older stuff. Before holidays people start looking for holiday items for their holiday avatars. Better to save them in storage than sell them out of season.

Thank you so much emotion_hug

It's very difficult.

I didn't mean to make you sad though confused

I've dealt with a lot of death too. It really sucks. Just thinking about those people can upset me still. I've gotten a lot better at it though.

The first really hard loss for me was when my dad died. He overdosed on pills. I think he was just trying to have a good time. A few months later one of my best friends from high school died. She was a twin. They found her with a bullet in her head in a known drug house. The case was never solved. Then a few months after that another of my best friends died. He had been doing drugs and fell asleep at the wheel. He drove into a semi truck. They all died because of drugs. They all died too young. At least something could be learned. But it hurts a lot. Especially when you know you should have done more. It isn't my fault, and it wasn't my responsibility. And maybe I couldn't have changed things. But you can't help but wonder. Forgiving myself was the hardest, but I've finally done it.
