..That looked better in my head. :c

Anyway, anyone got it? You do your quests every day, sell items and do whatever you do to earn your sP but you refuse to buy items for your HA or potions for your pets because you just don't want to spend those pretty points.

I know I do. I hate spending even the smallest amount of sP on whatever it is, mainly because I like how the prefs page says how far you're on the richest user list xD

Terribly sorry if there is already a thread like this. Please delete if this is so.

@MUW I'm the opposite. I'm an sPholic. I've never had more than 11 million at a time because I love spending it on stuff so much!

The funny thing is, I sometimes get this, but usually only when I have a lot of sp to begin with. When I only have a little sp, I'm all "well, there's so little.... Why not just spend it all? ;-)"

You know, that actually makes sense. I like your logic.

It's not that great, actually. I really should be saving up to color my pets/get more slots, but instead I'm buying pretty art *point to signature*. It's like Subeta ADD.

@Kyradriel
Finally someone who understands xD I hope I'll reach 70mil (I have about 50 right now), too. I usually save up a whole lot and go all 'can't spend can't spend.' and then waste it all on something silly.

L-look at the bright side of saving! It's. Uh. Fun? Reminds me when I once threw everything out of my wardrobe to sell it. I had claimed never to make a HA again. Now I just half-ass them. My luck is that I can't put together a decent looking one, so I almost never buy any items xD Was tempted though, today.

I like to hoard money, ha.
But every so often I'll splash out on a new HA.
Like, if I design one, and I like it, then I HAVE to have it.
I never buy potions though, because I only have 1 pet.
Or weapons, because I don't battle.
Just clothes really, ha.

That's the only thing I really spend my sP on, when I can be bothered to part with it at all, is stuff for my wardrobe. And sometimes Felinah's treasure, but she's a greedy little bugger and the things she wants are getting out of reach.

Yeah, I pretty much never spend my sP. Almost 100mil and I refuse to spend more than like.. 300k on anything just because I don't want to go any lower.

and i'm always on the run

wouldn't it be sad to lose me?

the most I ever had all at once was 114 mil.

then I spent it all on CSC which i used to buy weapons and cash shop minions. Weapons are my biggest sP sink.

And bling.

I got a huge expensive WL, and only 16 mil.
I REFUSE TO SPEND IT.

I have it.
I wish I had the ability to make more sp as well though, too lazy, but if I get the impulse, I could probably spend it all. -twitches.-
BUT I DON'T WANT TOOOOO!

i had about 14 mil today and let myself buy a nuclear potion for one of my pets ;p i hardly ever make money when i don't have a gold account, but when i do i'm able to go ahead and spend. i mean, i've always got x amount of time to double what i spent!

I'm sorta the same way, if I get a lot of sP I go into a total hoarder.
But if I'm low on sP, I totally don't give a crap about making anything.

@Darkveiled I just saw your hawt HA. Now I want those ruffled tops again. Woo for draining my vault!

I'm a bit of a sP hoarder too. One of the things I enjoy most is making sP and watching my bank account get bigger! I got into the top 1000 richest Subeta users recently and I'm now reluctant to drop lower. Next I'll be like "I wanna be in the top 750" and then the top 600 and it never ends....!
I do spend sP though, like if I'm making a new HA or want to add something to my bunneh gallery. I also like gifting people. And am a bit of a sucker for stalking the trading post for bargains.
All in all I think I'm a saver rather than a spender. Even though I'm not saving for anything! Haha XD

Oh, and @MUW and @Gypsy, I love your HAs!

I totally have this. If I let myself spend sP it's only like, at increments of 100k xD and that really doesnt buy much. Almost all my wearables I got from vending cause I don't want to buy anything.

My shop has a total of around 200M in profits, and I have kept over half of this. I think that's pretty impressive compared to some people.

I keep telling myself, wait to spend until you have 1 billion sP, because then buying something thats 4 mil wont really make a dent.

IT'S A PROBLEM.

sPholic here too
i have...36k right now
:'D
i need to learn how to save money fshhh
i'd like to get a giant amount of Sp then go on a huge shopping spree but by the time i made enough money to go on a shopping spree my wishlist would increase x12 ~_~
so usually i end up getting like, 400k and then buy a bunch of wearables and bring myself back down to 100k. I always tell myself 'KEEP AT LEAST 100k' but..i kind of killed that last time.
poor 36k.

the most i've ever had is 24mil. and that was..last year when i tried to get my ISS. it was worth to finally change my name but by god that was a long 3 months to get the 24 mil, and i had to sell a good chunk of my wardrobe. my wardrobe was sad and empty afterwards.
i am the crappiest money maker ever.

Haha, I totally have that. I hate spending sP, so I always ask for items in payment for art <3

currently I'm really hating the thought of having to spend my sP to buy the reborn potion I want for one of my pets, even though I have *well* more than enough, and it would be barely anything out of my pocket... but I still don't want to spend it. lol. I love going and seeing how much sP I have saved in my vault XD

I started saving back in September, or was it August, seeing if I could do the Super SO Sprint thing, until kidlet's bday then spend spend....

I kept going. I'm now saving until my best friend's Bday, although I did snag her an early Bday present (Used CSCs no sP spend !)... Her Bday is Dec 31 so maybe new year WL decimation ?

I will pop top 200, but I don't see a point in attempting higher than top 100, really. a billion sP on hand ? That's silly. After this I'll float between having 50 - 100 onhand.
