[B][SIZE=4]The Finances: April 1985[/SIZE][/B] Picked up [B]$18,675[/B] in winnings over the course of the month. A little bit low considering I missed some dates in the transition of my contracts, but without any significant expeditures in relationships or portfolio, it's no real issue. (For reference, my best one-month performance was November 1984 when I collected $26,503. My average monthly winnings tend to be in the low $20k range.) I also earned [B]$5,550[/B] in residual income from my portfolio, a very good result. The detailed breakdown: [quote] Comic Book Stores (2): $2,732 Gymnasium (1): -$17 Low Risk Investment (3): $300 Medium Risk Investment (1): $461 Regular Restaurant (1): $445 Small Business (1): $1,629 [/quote] I am currently living a 'Comfortable' lifestyle [B](-$2,000/month)[/B] and this was my only expenditure in April. As a result, my current bank balance is [B][I]$52,185.[/I][/B]

Since "Wallbanger Jones" is not in the database, is there anyone in particular that you would like for me to follow for you in my journal?

[QUOTE=Wallbanger;412072][B][SIZE=4]The Finances: April 1985[/SIZE][/B] Picked up [B]$18,675[/B] in winnings over the course of the month. A little bit low considering I missed some dates in the transition of my contracts, but without any significant expeditures in relationships or portfolio, it's no real issue. (For reference, my best one-month performance was November 1984 when I collected $26,503. My average monthly winnings tend to be in the low $20k range.) I also earned [B]$5,550[/B] in residual income from my portfolio, a very good result. The detailed breakdown: I am currently living a 'Comfortable' lifestyle [B](-$2,000/month)[/B] and this was my only expenditure in April. As a result, my current bank balance is [B][I]$52,185.[/I][/B][/QUOTE]Damn.. How did you manage to earn enough to buy that many properties

[quote=Clarity;415376]Damn.. How did you manage to earn enough to buy that many properties[/quote] Remember this is a two year old savegame, I've had almost 400 matches in that span. That, paired with the fact that my stats mostly capped out in the C range, and I've really not had much to do with my money -- I haven't tried to do any really high cost relationship games, so I've been dumping all my spare cash into portfolio.

Im 2 years in and on close to my 100th match.. Plus i think they pay more in DOTT

[Wallbanger]

Much as I love the C-Verse, in WreSpi it is PAINFULLY slow going in R2L mode. In DOTT even starting out you can get 3 dates a week if you want them easily. In C-Verse it's hard to get 3 dates a month starting out unless you're in one of the national-level companies.

Good win over the Rock Wallbanger.

[captainlou]

The win over the "Magnificent One" is impressive. Here's a suggestion, though. After you pasted the output, and before you post the results, you can change the output from the side headlock so that it's Gorilla Monsoon talking to Andy. For example (Look at it, Andy! Look at IT! It's a Side Headlock!!!! Wow...). I don't think that Tony is commentating the matches along side the other commentators.
