"My Life Story" Money Cheats
The key to happiness in "My Life Story" is a rewarding career and piles of cash. The game is mostly a life simulator, with a dose of time management. Each day is a new level and time passes only after you've decided what you want to do for that day. Cheating isn't an option in "My Life Story"; you have to go to school and work hard just like everybody else. Just as in real life, though, living by some basic guidelines can help you hoard cash.

Educate Yourself
-
The highest-paying careers are only available if you go to college. Enroll early in the game and spend as much time there as possible. Your rent and expenses are easier to manage when you're living in your mom's basement, so take advantage of this time and hit the books.
Live Frugally
-
Four basic needs must be met at all times: hunger, energy, health and fun. If any of these drop into the red zone you'll pass out and earn a trip to the emergency room. Although you can satisfy most needs with a purchase you can accomplish many tasks for free. For example, take a walk in the park instead of buying a gym membership or beg mom for food instead of stopping at the fast food restaurant.

Avoid Fatigue
-
You pay a big price if your character loses all of their energy. Medical treatment is not free; in fact it costs half of your income for each visit. Keep a close eye on the bars and participate in activities that fulfill more than one need. Whenever possible, use the life card that slows your energy depletion or the one that gives you free hospital visits.
Save Gas
-
Manage your time wisely to maximize your earning potential. Each time you go somewhere, the clock starts ticking. Plan ahead and travel to places that will fulfill your needs without draining your energy. You can travel much faster after you purchase a car, but it always helps to plan ahead.
Rest Easy
-
The game forces you out of your mom's house, but that doesn't mean you have to buy a mansion. The first rental unit, Shady Apartments, sits in the seedier part of town but only costs $150 dollars. Stay there for the duration of the game, or at least until you can afford better. Camelot Condos is a lot nicer but takes a bigger chunk out of your paycheck: $1,000 dollars every four weeks.
Pawn Items
-
The pawn shop is a quick way to get cash in "My Life Story." Not only do you get back a percentage of what you paid, but you no longer need these items in your game. As your back account grows, so does the available selection of furniture and electronics. Many purchases are upgrades, for example, the flat screen that replaces the 10-inch in the corner. After you upgrade, the original possessions become obsolete and can be discarded.
