Seeking public assistance

My dog/crab got whooped by his sibling snail and I'm down to 103 dollars.

How can I earn some money quickly? Is it the size of your post or how often you post?

Signed,

The Thing's mother

Nope. I'll just post. I'm a pick yourself up from the bootstraps kind of girl. Cash on the barrel.

Re Seeking public assistance

Elyzabeth, I'm a big mouth around here. I've got more money in the bank than I can possibly spoil Topaz with! If you need some cash to spoil your crabby dog - Topaz loves to help! Just let us know. A trip to the vet can be expensive.

Re Seeking public assistance

Same goes here, too.

Also, be sure to bank your money every night into your bank account, then withdraw as needed. The money in the account earns interest every night. Once you've built up a good bank account, there's no need to keep putting it in every day, you can just float on what you newly earn.

Thank you, folks!

If I end up going in for another snail fight, I'll call you in as sponsors!

Right now, I'll just post!

Thanks!

Reading threads also helps. There is a random generator that rewards people just for reading the forums.

Re Seeking public assistance

I think I'll be okay. Of course, you might find an odd number of really pointless threads started over the next few days so that The Thing may live...but, hey, you gotta play the system.

Re Seeking public assistance

I also have money to spare if anyone needs a quick infusion of cash. There's only so many shampoos and shots my cat will put up with.

Interest is 2% per DAY. You can probably afford to keep taking out of savings once you've gotten your account past about 10,000. If you have 1000 in the bank, that's 20/day. If you have 10,000 in the bank, that's 200/day. I have almost 100,000 in the bank - last time I checked, it was only about 50K. It grows really fast there.

Re Seeking public assistance

If anybody EVER needs money for food or a trip to the vet, PM me with your account number. I’m going to make 22,414 in interest tonight. A sociopathic turtle needs only so many toys.

Well, it's my own damn fault for having been away so long....while you all were earning and banking money I was doing I don't know that the heck what.

Your interest is really impressive. When I finally figured out I had a bank account and what to do with it, I put 5000 away and I had 7700 before I took a little bit out just yesterday.

The fantastic interest rate here (unlike real life) is one of the reasons I'd rather keep my money in the bank than draw it out.

(Okay, this is getting weird. It's not real money, for heaven's sake!....but it's doing better than my coupla shares of Krispie Kreme I bought through Sharebuilders )

Re Seeking public assistance

P.S. thanks for the offers of money. I don't actually NEED it. I have enough money to keep the Snail in style. I'm just being stingy about taking it out of the bank.

I like to live on money I earn.

Andrea
