    This is an interesting tactic, how do you do this? Just not spend for the day, split your balance in half and then use the other half for tomorrow?

    Pretty much, say I go mining. If I initially make $14k, I put $7k up, and leave the other 7k in my bal. Over time, this adds up. The same goes for sg, but normally I wait and add a few games together. I don't worry about every penny, but usually just round up to the nearest 100 or 1000.

    This is why I never rage over lost money in lotto. When I put money in, I have an equal amount saved up somewhere. Pretty much, my bal is my play money, lol.

    I've never had any issue with signs for 9 months, so not really.

    I have $200. What do I have? Nothing. Joined ECC in aug 2012. But i have NOTHING. NOT A EFF7 TOOL NOT A DONATION FEATURE!
    Why? Because I really suck. I hate you lottery. I dont make money. Only voting and that money goes to lot. I really want to stop. But I cant. I've been pres since May 2013...

    I'm really sad. Can anyone help me out? I've always dreamt about an usapresident with VIP, an eff 7 tool and a spawnshop. I just need to find out what i need to do.
    But I will never get it.

    I'm sad.

    Hey Usa, I have a few tips to help you out.

    1. You MUST resist the urge to play lottery. I too, was a big lottery player, and had to stop. I basically forced myself to do that, and well, just thought of the lottery as "a tax on the stupid".
    2. Get mining gear. You need fire prot 4 diamond armor, and a maxed fort pick. This way, you can get around 12k/hr, and just save that up for a few weeks. Once you have around 700k, I would buy /back and an eff 7 pick. With this tool, you can basically achieve anything you want, as long as you work hard.

    You have to commit to this strategy for a month, maybe a little more. However, I promise it will end well.

    I would maybe liquidate many of your assets, although it seems like you don't have many. I would use a cheap way of making money, like farming, to get the money required. Also, loans may be effective since it would only be about 30k.

    I've been mayor since End of March 2013, so don't complain about being a president for less than a year.

    @usapresident999 I have a very addictive personality, and combine that with my mindset of lotto being the only thing to spend money on at my stage, I was an addictive player. The way I fixed this was
    A. Buying things (mswords, eff7s, high cost things) on payment plan, so I would always have a better cause for my money
    B. Having a TRUSTED friend set up a money sign
    @nicit6 set mine up and only let's me take it out if I get the user I am buying something from to PM him to confirm first :p
    I highly suggest the second one to avoid losing money.
