Tip for keeping money: Buy nothing.

 

Don't make me pistol whip you with an evoker

do you mean there is not 48mins limit if I change character?

my second had a felon GT at PV, if I drive around, I might trigger more clone so I can store them

 

Each character can sell a car every 48 mins.

what is "FM"?

[marco-polo]

Free-mode?

[Biohazard Abyss]

what is "FM"?

 

Free mode in this case.

 

But some people will say something like FM Adder. FM meaning fully-modded.

3. Rob stores without your pv, it will get impounded and cost money and time to go get it. Find a decent car and when the cops kill you it will still right where you left it.

 

It costs you nothing to get it. Jump the wall next to the car park and you'll land right on it. Drive out the gate and floor it. You get 2 stars which are easily and quickly lost. Just saved you $250.

Dont use a pv...I just saved you TIME.

Money's not really that hard to come by in this game. Case in point, I really haven't farmed hard since the Online shutdown, just races and jobs, a bit of coveted, sell Ballers when you can, rob a store here and there, snag an armored truck or two. In the time since, I've made about $800,000. A person farming hard, or just doing random jobs over and over, as well as the odd Baller or two could have made 2 or 3 times that in the same time-frame. Just play the game people, it's not hard to get money that way. Just staying in freeroam will not get you tons of money, in fact, the cost of ammo, and many deaths will leave you broke. So budget your time, x amount for freeroam, x amount for jobs, and you can find a balance that will make you happy (well, not happy because most have the 'gimme money now, fast, and lots of it while I don't have to do anything for it' mentality, so instead I'll say 'not happy, but also not broke').

Dying is free.

Dying is free.

You sure? Last I heard it was like 300 bucks each time, or something like that. I don't make it a habbit of dying constantly, so I don't know what the rate is these days.

Its free if you dont do it.

[Sugar Free Nos]

what is "FM"?

 

Free mode; or when speaking about cars, "Fully-modded".

 

 

Also, OP, all of these things sound just a monotonous and boring as doing missions, but you get less pay. If my end goal is just to get a large amount of money, why would I do any of these things?

 

I'll just stick to conservatively spending my Adder money.

[wolfp212]

Ha, so very true.

[ugotsmoked]

I find it less monotonous.

[mfoster09]

Or. Much more profitable to chain missions together.

This. My buddies and I will do missions in a chain and make a hundred k in less than an hour if r* cooperates and gives us decent missions at the select menu. I'm pretty close to 2 million again already since the moneyopalpse.

You can throw bounties in there also...more things to do.

I haven't done bounties in a long time. They were fun back when Online came out, the chase mainly. But then with the glitched bounties I avoided them at all cost. Now that the mess is over, I find if you see a bounty, even one as little as 1,000 bucks, you see tons of people go after them like rabid wolves now that a lot of people are more or less broke. I'll wait until this dies down before going bounty hunting again.

Well to each his own.

1. Sell vehicle on 1st character, bank, switch.

 

2. Sell vehicle on 2nd character

 

3. Rob stores without your pv, it will get impounded and cost money and time to go get it. Find a decent car and when the cops kill you it will still right where you left it.

 

4. Rob stores often, rob them on the way to sell vehicles at LSC and rob them in the car for Simeon.

 

5. When in a Simeon vehicle watch the map for approaching blips, that $200 ( I think ) going off radar could bank you $12K.

 

6. Crates.

 

7. Avoid FM fights, pointless neverending waste of bullets and most important $$$.

 

I made about $220K in less than 2 hours yesterday.

About this, I heard that if you use a different car and park your PV around the corner, drive to it after you rob the store and swap cars, you actually lose a wanted level star. Not sure how much truth is in that though, I can't remember where I heard it. Also there's the mask thing.

Racing is fun, money and rp are just a byproduct of that.

 

You could try using a helicopter to go on a store robbing spree, that's my vehicle of choice for that. Quick to get from store to store, and if the cops get too nutty you can just loop out over the ocean while heading to the next store.
