and

1. You guys can totally use this board to chat so long as it is technically related in some way to saving/goals/encouragement. Any other not really challenge related conversations should be directed to the other board in the chat forum like if you want to chat about real life .etc. Zero to Hero Non-Challenge Chat
2. Feel free to make a board for ZTH if you want as I was planning to anyways but I'm delayed lately due to work. So like by all means make the board and I will let you know what I was planning contest prize wise that would just apply to your board.

Awesome, thanks! Thanks for the link to the other thread, that'll be helpful too.

Glad to know I'm not the only one interested in ZtH event threads! I really do like events and it's a super way to kind of keep touch with the group (and get encouragement not to spend all the moniesssss).

Sooooo I hit 500 mil in shop and userboard, which is neat, but at the same time reminds me of how far there is left to go. I have to keep reminding myself this is a marathon, not a sprint. xD

I am super envious. I have been so terrible at this challenge so far. I actually wanted to kick myself for making it 5 bill. Also the link is also in the first post as HERE to talk about the set up or whatever. I will be changing things up though soon. Like changing this from required weekly updates to a minimum of monthly. and I didn't forget about having another mini challenge thing it is in the works. Also this should hopefully be a little more chatier for you guys. Basically it is a who is gonna be luckier with 1k in tokens for vending and that gift giving thingy sending you guys random gifts up to a certain sp amount. (Working on how much per user) and seeing who makes the best money off it.

It sounds like a lot of folks have had really unexpected commitments rise up and grab them, it's kind of a tough year. I totally understand!

Ha, really? I think it's a great goal, but we're definitely going to be working at it for a while. It's kind of nice to all have the same goal, I admit.

For what it's worth, I've noticed that in another game chat for a phone game, it's awfully silent just because nobody talks. SOMEONE'S got to start talking so it might as well be me!

How is everyone else doing in your goals? Finding it difficult? Making money off the events unless you're spending it all on beer/brats? Is RL stealing your life?

I broke 300mill in my till over the weekend i was happy about that! i splurged a little bit and spent some here for algarten but other than that i been trying to be good lol! I broke down the math, and i hope some months are better than others.. but according to my first month profits, it will take around 15 months to make it to 5billion.

Good job - I'm just over 100mil, hit that today; but I was absent for a half of the month.

Me too! :( I started out in August and just hit 140mil (100m till). It could have been more - I've been spending a lot ever since. I've been actually neglecting the challenge for what's worth. I just can't avoid peeping through the Advertising forums and seeing stuff I just feel THAT URGE to buy.

Nice, congrats on the 3 mil in your shop! Gah I have the same problem splurging.

15 months? Huh. For some reason I thought it would take a whole lot longer than that. Probably will if there's lots of spending going on.

Hey, 100 mil's nothing to sneeze at.

I have to literally say no to the advertising forums or I'd be in that same boat. My impulse buying is terrible, I have to just keep telling myself I can get it later. It doesn't always work.

Hey I'm sorry to bug you but I was wondering if I could join the Aug 10th rather than wait for the next grouping- I actually did a 0 sp 0 currencies personal challenge starting on the 12th of September and heard about this through the SB (HI Katala!!) and have been working on it since then.

I'm in that weird situation where I'd be ahead for the next group, but I definitely don't mind being a month behind, you know? If anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them, I've actually been slacking a bit so it seems like this came along at the right time to be some good motivation.

Im sure Perm can work out how to get started with us. Its a good motivator to keep running totals and such here ! its fun to see the progress

Yeah I am going to restructure this a bit anyways. So anyone could join at anytime so long as they start at 0. Also the weekly check ins won't be mandatory but at least like once a month. Everything will be edited later today. So just throw up a tracking post and ping me so I can then link it. If you want to be in a cohort just let me know again or you can start your own.

Alright guys I changed things! Please reread the first post.

The main changes are: Check ins are now monthly but if you want to continue doing weekly have fun! People can join whenever now!!!!!! There is now a rule about at least posting a friendly message or encouragement once. (Trying to get this to be more chatty and fun!)

As always I need to apologize for being MIA again. Working 7 days a week so I am on like about 2 hours a day (late at night) via laptop and like always browsing from my phone. I will be more on like Wednesdays and Fridays and Sundays. All the other days I am working like from 9 to 12 hours with children with autism so some days I am like uber exhausted. Hope you all are enjoying morostide!

I haven't updated in a while, but I will do that in an hour or two.

I'll have to collect my shop till for Black Friday. I see I will be able to clear a lot of stuff from my WL but that sadly requires me to restart the challenge.

As far as I can see, after my 1 month GA ended, I bought another week and got some free GA time so I managed to keep the hard work until I reached the highest point, on update 09/26. After the GA was over I wasn't able to autoprice (and I really don't have the time to price stuff by hand), neither I was able to earn as much tokens or vend as much as before - decreasing my profit.

After 09/26, my shop till went very linear, but I'm impressed that I sold 100mil in less than 2 months. I hope I can reach 100mil on till faster than that next time.

I will start the challenge again on Jan 1st (or whenever there is a new scheduled date for newcomers around that date). I'll update weekly (next year will be easier for me than this one) and I will keep a GA subscription so I won't have any excuses to avoid working hard on account improving.

This was fun, challenging and I'm looking forward to start it over! :)

Thank you for your patience I have been a terrible host and just so busy in real life to get back into this. But reminded me I need to get back to work on this. So it is that time of year when subeta gets crazy with the gifting and sp totals take a nose dive! This is all ok and some of you have reached out about doing just that and essentially restarting with the new year. THAT IS 100% TOTALLY OK. Please don't stress about that. With that being said the new year should also bring new people to this challenge. So hopefully the new year will mark us being a little more chatty and encouraging.

I think I'll actually try and start on Jan 1st, its hard for me to actually spend all my sP, but I will make a valiant effort and just splurge on Lumi gifts. I also need to use up my 10k tokens, but that's an easy task, lol.

, if any friends of mine are looking at starting the new year with no sP, take a look at this, here's a great way to challenge yourself to rebuild your stash.

same here for me and I almost have 2 billion.

You can totally just donate it all to me to boost my totals! Kidding! If you want a solid investment just buy up csc. Prices seem to always be on the up and up which is nice.

that is how I got that high in the first place due to being super busy with university.

This black friday sale made me take a huge dive. On one hand, I replaced the majority of the stuff I gave away when I left a few years ago, on the other I spent all of my sp on csc to do it haha. Mostly I want to thank you for hosting this, even a gentle reminder is enough to get me back on track and to spend my time on subeta a little bit better.

I'll start with you on Jan. 1st
