Lots of money -- fast!

1 year 2 months ago

"Borrowing money / taking loan from anybody or anywhere makes you indebted, and this may burden you in the long run. Credit cards is a no good. Lending money to your friends and ask for large interest is a bit...how should I say it...loan-sharkish? Besides, you need a large amount of money to be lent for it to yield more money. "

"Please, it's not greedy. I'm just relating what others have been searching for years and sometimes, the their whole life. I hate money myself, but I want to buy stuffs, and for me to be able to do so, I need money. I'm sorry if I have offended you in some ways or another."

Lots of money -- fast!

1 year 2 months ago

"Okay, let's get to the point. What is your idea to get lots of money fast? I mean LOTS of money and FAST. So don't say things like 'saving' or 'robbing from a bank' or something like that. What we need to know is how to get one of the most desirable thing in the world: richness.

Just become a salary man (means you work in a company) is not the answer. You will soon realize that your paycheck will eventually consumed by paying bills and debts and living expenses. Your mortgage, your insurance, or even student loan will slowly crush you from all side until you're squeezed out. It takes you years to eventually be able to get what you want. Not to mention the time you waste.

My friends have suggested investments, be an entrepreneur, stock market, forex, multi-level-marketing, pyramid schemes, et cetera.

I want to know what you have in mind to accumulate fortunes for yourself."

Weird dreams

1 year 2 months ago

"After having a marathon of anime or manga or any other series, I usually ends up having a dream about that particular show/manga. I read Battle Royal 1-14 in one go and ended up having a dream that I kill all my classmates in a battle royal. I once dream becoming a Kamen Rider, and fly together with Eureka after watching 15 Eureka 7 in one go.

My advise: don't watch anime/read manga/whatever in one go. Bad for your health."

What is your way to save more money wisely?

1 year 2 months ago

"The most effective way for saving money is not to use it. If you still want to use it, you can follow this:

(I assume most people reading this don't have a job yet, and therefore they can't take loans or bank credit)

1. List all your needs
2. Delete everything you don't really need or you can borrow from friends from that list (including DVDs, games, manga, etc)
3. Delete everything that you can get for free (steal, or make yourself)
4. Get the cheaper version of everything else left on that list. So if you can get a 1 dollar pizza, why buy the 10 dollar?
5. Don't get too consumptive and get more than the list

Also:

1. Don't over budget, means don't put more to buy than what you can pay
2. Set aside a fix amount of money for fixed savings, something like 20% of your allowances
3. Always keep cache of cash away and hidden for emergencies, you'll never know when your parent's will go to vacations and left you alone with instant noodles and microwave pizzas...(been there)
4. What you can get for free, don't buy. You can have your dinner at friend's place or never treat others, try to be treated instead
5. Dining out is always expensive. Don't get caught with your friends and eat outside. Cook your own food instead, it's more fun and whatever the result you still learn something.
6. Download what you can't buy... (never mind this)"

Fate/Stay Night Wall

"It looks nice. Love the idea, but the red stripes in the front are a bit...distracting, and overdone. Maybe make them vary in color and shape and don't mirror them. Make a little bit transparency might be nice also. The background may need some more work. The sparkling things are not so good either. And the last, but not the least, you should re-extract the scan, or work more to remove the white borderline."

Pen Spinning

1 year 3 months ago

"Hah! That's kinda cool. I've always wanted to try pen spinning, but they always went out of control and fly somewhere. Just not my talent.

I remember back in highschool this became really popular, and everybody's doing that. One teacher became irritated with this and he banned all the pen spinning. Besides pen spinning, book spinning and ball spinning once popular in my school too."

There are many other ways to make this too..but that is the easiest. For the bg, maybe some stars can be good also or some planets, not just moon.."
