So, at what amount of NP would you consider YOURSELF (not others) poor?
(when you're making a steady income eg, ABing frequently, reselling, selling n00dz for np)

I know some of you (soul, strat) think that 100m is probably an attainable
others (me lol) find 100m pretty godlike.

at what point would you be apprehensive spending np? o:


for me i think 5m is damned low, i have a ton of investments stored up, but if i ever broke below 5m i'd start saving up instead of spending ;o

    Right now, I have roughly 400k with only 4 semi-valuable items (worth between 50-200k).
    So, I am constantly apprehensive in terms of spending my money.
    However, I feel that the absolutely lowest I should have in the bank is 250k.
    That was the amount I strove to obtain before I even considered spending.

    I consider myself as "poor" whenever my neopoints on hand drop below 2mil... I make a LOT of investments and do tons of testing for various things, such as my stat increaser thread, as such my neopoints fluctuate quite a bit and the if I drop below 2mil I just stop investing/spending until it has risen to the 3-4mil mark.


    EDIT: I also bank 500k anytime I hit 2.5mil so I don't tend to run low but it still happens from time to time.

    When I fall under about 3m I consider myself poor, but I'm almost always under 3m nowadays :p

    I have never had over 2m in my entire life. I would consider striving for about 10-20m, even that would make me happy. I'm almost at my 2m goal but it's taking a while.
    I'm poor when I'm under 500k. My dream in Neopets was to be able to buy a a coloured paintbrush for my pet without having to go completely broke.

    I consider anything under 10m poor and because I'm always buying crap, I'm always poor

    I'm feeling 'ok' when I'm in the 10m range (when I still have about 3mil in trades, 2mil in my shop and probably another 5mil of things sitting in my SDB), whn my cash on hand drops below 5m I get a bit edgy and stop buying.

    less than 300m and you're a poor cnut in my eyes XD













    But seriously, i would say 10m would be the threshold i consider as being poor (any less than that doesnt compute with me)

    Probably 1 billion networth or so would be average for me, any less and I'd start worrying.

    For me, it's 5mil. I play legitimately, so it takes me quite a while to earn that much, however I also have a lot of goals....and accomplishing goals isn't cheap on Neopets :p I have around 18mil saved up right now, which I earned from playing lots of KQ, stocks, auction sniping and SSW sniping. I haven't really been playing much these past few weeks though.

    Excluding the millions of investments, BD weapons, and stamps/collectable cards, I feel poor when I have less than 10m pure in bank and on-hand in total. I feel more comfortable with at least 50m to auction snipe. Whenever I get below 5m, I feel like a poor, depressed, desperate for attention ACer.

    Probably because you are a poor, depressed, desperate for attention ACer


    FYI, I'm a poor, depressed, desperate for attention troll. Being an ACer means to actually have a conversation with them *shrugs*

    shit, what are you including in your net worth?o:

    i'm surprised people have less than 5mill on this site (not saying that in a smite way at all)
    but with Abrosia alone, even without advanced, i can very easily make 100k/day

    right now I'm really poor, less than 2m. I AB on a young account so no AAA buys. I'll feel poor till I hit the 10m+ mark in pure

    I'd say 3m is poor for me, I have problems saving though, every time I start doing well I gift a few millions.
    I have about 25m invested in my bd set though, that's what's keeping me from spending it ! :)

    I feel VERY poor, even with 20 mil under my belt. I think that there are 6 set values/groups for me, or this is how I judge people at least:
    • Poor, anything less than 30 mil.
    • Alright, anything around 100 mil.
    • Good, anything around 900 mil.
    • Sweet, anything around 9000 mil.
    • Rich, anything around 90,000 mil.
    • OMF rich, 1billion. (1million million, for those that view a billion as 1 thousand million.)

    I consider 1million to be poor, the most I've had is about 3-4 million but that went as I was frozen. I think 10-20 million is rich.

    I definitely agree. I believe that anyone in the 100million neopoints range should be considered exceptionally rich.
