    I suppose the first question is why do you need 400k BEFORE you hit level 15? Once you hit it you can make that in one flight buying plushies or flowers.

    Err... Get a job? Relying on awareness to find high priced items is not worth it, imo. Secure a job first then start buying 100 beers and trade them for some profit. Rinse and repeat.

If I'm right I would be 3-4 days away from level 15. However I need $400,000 more cash, my awareness is low and I do not have much items worth of value I can sell or I would be an easy target for mugging and many high markup items are always out of stock. Any advice on money-making? (Scoring losses are also hard for me).

Tips:
  • Firstly, you shouldn't spend merits on awareness for the purpose of making money. In my opinion and that of many others, you shouldn't use merits on it at all, but to each their own. It became nearly useless when it was last updated. If you choose to regularly mug (which I wouldn't recommend, especially with stats as low as yours; train instead), using merits for mugging would make more sense. When you have enough money to make a decent amount with the bank every two weeks or two months, putting merits in bank interest would be a good idea.
  • If you need quick money, you can advertise in trade chat rather than just the Attacking forum that you are selling losses. Don't use the Casino out of desperation. You will more than likely lose money. The house always wins. It's just not worth it. 
  • Finally, keep in mind that Torn is a long-term game. You don't need to be in a rush to level up or reach a certain Networth. Setting goals is definitely an okay thing to do and something I would recommend, but don't stress too much about the speed you're going. Worrying too much about that may lead to you making a rash decision (such as gambling) and losing more than you gain long-term. Torn is a marathon, not a sprint.

Jesus, I'm sorry man, I wanted to get some extra cash so I can get a PI, my cash was going downhill for some time 4.5 mil down to 2.4 mil currently and wanted to keep my expenses low and my earnings high.
