Wow, Enhanced Economy looks amazing, tvm for the tip!

I currently have 9000 gold and I'm at Level 3.

Yes, we found that keeping strength at base for a no-melee archer gave us the added bonus of a slower road to riches. She was never really able to lug around armor or weapons to sell. Now that she has a bag of holding and two sets of saddlebags, she is still in the habit of basically only picking up gold coins, scrolls and a few other things of insignificant weight to sell. In fact, until I started levying property taxes on her, for a while, I couldn't even get her to pick up gold coins because money was so easy as to be meaningless. We have a very nice solution that works well for us. It even meets our preference for optimizing gameplay mechanics and the command console, to help keep our mod list reasonably short.

Doesn't anybody use Living Economy?

I'm at lvl 7 now and have more gold than ever before, a whopping 8000 Septims. Maybe I'm not fighting the right creatures, but I really don't find that much sell-able loot. The expensive stuff I do find is too expensive for any merchant to buy, and I'm not about to sell a 10,000 Septim necklace for 1,500. I'm at 55 in Strength and can carry quite a load, but I'm certainly not getting rich fast. I just learned that the house in Cheydinhall is 70,000 Septims!!?? Holy mother of .... I'll never get my hands on that kind of gold, what with all the hot clothes and armors I have to buy as well.

From memory, 65-75 thousand Septims. A little excessive perhaps; I'll have to spend a fair bit of it soon.

I gave all my Septims to a beggar lady. She was saving up for medicine. After three hours at one septim at a time I started to get suspicious. Alchemical training is bound to be cheaper than those extortionist rates at the Temple. Reminds me of the old saying, "Give a man a potion and you cure him for a day, give a man a disease and you kill him for a lifetime."

Right now Lothran has 789 septims after paying Volanaro for recharging his gear, bying some alchemical ingredients and giving a few to the beggars

I decided to just not pick up stuff to sell unless the loot consists of trinkets and gems. It seems to work fine for my Orc warrior.

Did you follow her to make sure she actually bought that medicine, not just another ale? :thumbsup:

1297 septims right now

my main Oblivion character, a moth priest/monk, didn't believe in keeping anything he didn't need (and never even bought a house.) So after sellting EVERYTHING i got that i didn't always wear/use, he has a few million septims. 2.14 i think, last time i played.

Living Economy is seriously outdated, and has been more or less replaced by Enhanced Economy, which is excellent. I (as well as pretty much everyone I've ever read a post by) find it superior to Living Economy in every way.

Lightweight, configurable, it's great.

*edit*
I'm level 40ish, somewhere around 1 million. That's a recent development though, I can pretty much steamroll my way through anything (within reason) at this point, and high level enchanted jewelry is fairly common, so.

For the first twenty levels or so, I'm usually pretty broke. Buying arrows, repair hammers, spells and ingredients to increase Alchemy for poisons keeps me on the verge of the poorhouse (I use one of the options in Alchemy Advanced to make user made potions worth practically nothing, too unbalancing otherwise--even for me).

Off the top of my head? *bursts out laughing* Yeah right. I can barely remember what I entered a ruin to go search for...

My first and now retired adventurer had 191,550 and just the one house in skingrad. She lived in Frost Spire prior to buying her dream house.

My new adventurer has 7,238 and is getting ready to dish out the money for a fixer-upper in Anvil.

No cheats, no mods, no returning to any dungeon, cave or ruin. Just whatever she can carry out on the first and only trip there. After purchasing her home, she plans to invest in enchanting some lovely clothes she found with feather so she can carry out a bit more.

I'm broke. the Imperial Guards took all I had after I picked up that crumpled piece of paper. :sadvaultboy:

48692 septims

If I remember correctly (haven't played in few days), my character carries something like 5000 spetims, and has about 25000 in a bank.

OVER 9000!!!!!!
Nah just kiding! well i have now 83.471 Septims.
I spend to much money in the Skingrad House and the Furnitures.
OMG 48.200 Septims ! >.<

I have well over 3 million. Gosh I wish there were stores where you can buy furniture and the like. I have all these houses with the same ole bed sheets, wall hangings and bookcases.

-6255 and I'm on the run.

Buffy's back up to about 7.8K. 'Course every time she gets above 10K, property taxes seem to knock her back down to 5K. Oh well, she really has everything a girl could want. A little house in Bravil, a beautiful horse, a wonderful bow, lots of clothes, plenty of bling, and a few bottles of Tamika's.
:twirl:

Tonight, after paying Volanaro for a recharge, Lothran had one septim left. That last septim he gave to one of the beggars, namely Jorck.

So current amount of septims: Zero :hehe:

Just over 2K. For now my character is just looking to maintain enough to live on.

My orc had like 300k but he did kill everyone who came in the way but my mage has only 69

Uh, just hit 60k as I finally got all my excess loot sold off! Immediately spent 30k + furniture on a new house in Leyawiin (the Skingrad house I wanted was 125k !!!). Then I spent another 10k on buying a time share hunting lodge in Bruma. Very nice place! I have to share it with Antoinette and Methredel tho, but it's cool, we girls dig each other.

So, back down to around 5k, but have lots of new clothes too.

When I had Oblivion for the 360, I eventually reached around... 300,000,000.

I have about 130K.
