Wiki Topic Edit

I'm requesting that my topic about how to keep/make/save money in the wiki is edited in the follow manner. Edited stuff will be in RED text. Parts i want deleted will be in GREEN text.

Spoiler

1. Think of how it will benefit you, and if you really need it

What would I use it for, and are there other ways to do it?
Will I use it more after the initial job?
How else will it benefit me, and what do I plan to do with it in the future. Will I sell it, keep it or give it away?
Is the item your buying worth the price? (Think of the above)
2. Set goals to set your mind, and not to let your mind wander or to be bored, causing it to spend on unneeded things

Set a goal that either needs to be done, or what you would like to be done. Try to limit spending to only to reach that goal, and nothing else. Once you reach that goal, you would've saved money with your mind set on that goal. You can then treat yourself with a special item, e.g. Billy the Diamond Block, so that you feel rewarded. Be sure to continue to set goals and repeat this method.
Set some money aside, (in a trade sign is the best) and don't touch it. When you decide on a goal, you can use that budget to reach it.
3. Keep a minimum in your balance

What this means it that decide on a number for a minimum, e.g. mine is 5k. Whenever you interact with money, remember not to go lower than your minimum budget. This is good for two reasons.
You have money in case of an emergency
It feels better to know that you will always have money in your balance.
4. Set a maximum spending budget per day

Similar to #3, but it is to have a maximum amount to spend per day. I like to say my budget is 10-25% of my current balance so that way, no matter what I have, I will always have a spending budget, and not the same amount every day, which can lead to bankruptcy. This method works very well with #3, but make sure that your % DOES NOT include your minimum amount.
Other important tips

Only buy stuff from trusted members, especially if this item is expensive.
Screenshot any money sent over to anyone higher than 10k, just on case your are scammed or something else happens where you need proof of the interaction.
Only buy items that you need for a reason, not because you like the person, or want the item to show people that you are rich, etc.
Whenever you are bidding in the auction, set a limit and do not go over it.
When possible, try to find out if a selling price is the lowest you can get.
Make sure that you are not getting ripped off, in stuff selling at a server store. E.g. someone might offer you a stack of dirt for $32, when you can buy 2 thousand for 200 at the server store.
When buying items, never buy if they are significantly higher than what you can sell them to the server for, unless you need the item very badly.
Avoid the lottery/shouts at all costs.
REMEMBER NO ONE WILL OFFER YOU A DEAL WHERE THEY DONT MAKE A PROFIT, OR WILL GAIN FROM THE SALE

 

I should say that i want this edited for a couple of reasons.
#1- i wrote it on my ipod, so it's full of spelling errors that make me look younger than I am and unprofessional.
#2- there are certain parts of it that no longer exist on this server, stuff that has changed, or personal references to my balance, something that i would rather keep personal.
