hello, from now on Bimbos can earn money. This is done by:
for each of these actions you will earn 0.05B$ and 1 reputation point.
However, there is a cap of 0.25B$ a day (last 24 hours), after reaching it you will only get 1 reputation point, no B$.
Nothing risked, nothing can be gained. I lost over 6 months of VIB, but it didn't really matter much. I had fun. Sure I was stupid to buy a year, but it doesn't have to be so, it was my choice because I loved the game that much. I don't cry over spilled milk. The kitties will drink it up.
As with all new nations, Bimbolands is experiencing some growing pains. I have faith it will mature, given some time and helpful advice from it's citizens.
at the moment it seems like it takes way too much time to actually earn B$ :/

I may notice this perspective because of my history, and economic background.
My RL first job, I was paid $3.25 USD per hour. I earned a little less than 100 USD per week.
With 100 USD, I paid for all my clothes. All my food. My apartment/per week. I even had some left over for parties.
Bimboland's is not like a countery like America, with a printing press of money gone wild, in debt.
I can see how brilliant the owner of this game is, if you do the math.
You can earn 0.25 B$ per day. Times that by 7. You can buy a belt, or shoes, or panties.
That's all I could ever do in real life when I was just starting out too.
The same pair of shoes, I would buy in America in 1988 for $10.00 USD now would cost over 150.00 USD And the modern pair wouldn't even be made of leather.
So Of course people will not understand the new prices. This is a new nation without inflation. You have been conditioned to expect foolish amounts, by the nation you live in RL.
Inflation has not gone that far out of control in America.
Inflation also seems to be a West coast/East coast thing too.
The cost of living is so Cheep where I live. A gallon of milk, is $1.99 USD Eggs. $0.99 USD per dozen. Potatoes $0.99 USD for 10 LBS. The average 2 bedroom apartment is 600.00 USD. My sons' mortgages on similar 3bed room homes, is $750.00 USD. My home is owned, but It is a MC-mansion for less than a quarter Million. It is insane when I go back east and see the foolish prices they pay, in the same nation. You also seem to forget about TAXATION.
The one constant thing is the cost of designer clothes. However the Pay scale for the common employee, would seem like nothing to the average East coast resident. I only start new hires at 10.35 per hour and that is more than Minimum wage, but it is difficult to hire someone in the first place because it is better to collect social benefits for free without having to work. The federal government is paying for them and entire families with fake money hot off the printing press. Inflation at an exponential scale.
Indeed only the cost of fine clothing is much more hard for a common person to buy living on the western side of the nation.
Inflation is not just a federal problem. Cities create the burden too for the residents, on a local level. People have been conditioned to accept bonds, levies and property taxes, and consider it normal. There is more to inflation than meets the eye.
