I only have two more rooms to add and then the increasing the sizes of the rooms. xD I've been doing other things the last few nights, so I'm not paying off my debts in one or two days like usual. But I should pay off my next debt and start construction on my basement today. Less than 40k to pay off and that's just a quick trip to the island for coconuts and/or bananas to deal with. :B
The last two times turnip lady came to town, she was selling at over 100 per and I was like, "nooope. Under 99 is the only safe bet, yo." I'll try to post to let people know when I have a high turnip price, though. (It's another two hours before my shop opens.) ....What qualifies as "high"? >_> I just know the pricing starts at 80 per and that's the bottom floor. So anything under 120 would start getting high, right?
For me, the best way to make money is to use the island. This is a trick I learned on tumblr:
Chop down all the fruit (not palm) trees except one
Dig up the bushes and take the flowers
Rent a net and a fishing pole
Go to the island after 5 PM (no beetles or sharks before this time)
slooowwwwlllllyyy circle the perimeter of the island, catching all the beetles on the palm trees
use your net to scare off any fish that aren't sharks
BUT catch sea-bass-sized shapes as they could be very expensive fish like marlins
Release your sea bass/worthless fish at fish that are too far out to be scared by the net
chase off any ground bugs, or beetles on the one remaining fruit tree (unless it's a rainbow beetle - what you're keeping it for)
TADA.
Basically what you're doing is forcing constant new respawns of fish and bugs, increasing your likelihood of catching sharks, marlins, and those sweet, sweet beetles. Removing the bushes, flowers, and extra trees decreases the amount of worthless bugs that can spawn. It's easy to make a good 300k a trip this way. But it's soooo tedious.
llonka: I'm not sure, I looked up Weeds and didn't see anything about getting rewarded for pulling weeds except for Weeding day, but Belly said she got an item for it a few posts back... I did find out this is a thing though: Rafflesia - Animal Crossing Wiki Metal.
CK: Ah, yeah the prices go up after awhile. It doesn't stay 40K forever, that'd be nice. XD
The Stalk Market max is 200 I think. They tend to follow a pattern, like a climb or descent, but I haven't messed with it too much. It was just a thought in case anyone needed help making bells.

Ah, and to add what Cherry said: the best time for Golden stags, the real money maker, is around 7-8pm. You can tell if it's a good time because the sky with have a nice pink and purple gradient sunset, but the island will be playing the nighttime music.
Oh, I just found something! If you have at least 50 weeds, Leif will show up and you can go through a weed pulling mini-game. If you pull them all quickly enough you get furniture for it.

Okay, that's what I was wanting to do. Thank you! So what and when is Weeding Day? I've been confused by it and have never really found anything that makes sense to me.
On that wiki, it says the last Friday in April for North America, last Saturday in April for Europe.
I had it noted as March 2nd, but apparently that's for Korea? <_> I don't remember when it happened last year, but Leif was in the Town Plaza like Isabelle usually is. I didn't have any weeds so he gave me the 3 different topiaries for PWPs. I wanna try to get the furniture this year, though.
Would anyone be interesting in playing together? Hammy and I have been visiting, but I'd like more friends! I'm working on overhauling my town (still a long way to go), and I could use a break to run around with someone and show off my progress once in a while. My friend code is 3067-5274-5577
He was a villager my friend really wanted to have, before he lost his game cartridge, so this is sorta bittersweet. Is there a particular villager you guys are hoping to get?
I eventually hope to have a village of just cats. So I absolutely must keep Lolly. I will likely keep around Biscuit (dog) and Genki Genji (bunny) until the temptation to let them go in favor of having another cat move in takes over.
I still want to kidnap your cute sentai cat. Must have superhero cat in town. Honestly haven't looked to see who was available yet, though.
Ah, there are a lot of cute cat villagers! Although, you have a good chance of getting one of mine that moved out, and she's a little hard on the eyes. xD
If I ever feel like giving up Kid Cat, I'll let you know. When they're all packed up, you can talk them into moving to your town. But I'd have to find a Jock type that I like more than him first... maybe Hamlet the hamster.
I kept Katt for awhile, I did actually like her quite a bit. I'm a wimp, so even if my initial reaction is "eww!", I still treat a villager like I normally would and then I get attached to them. I don't know if I could do that for the kangaroos, though... they still creep me out.
Yeah - I just had a kangaroo move into town when my duck moved out. So creepy. Not interacting with them if I can help it. D:
One purple animal moved in to replace another purple villager, but I'd have rather kept Mallory. I liked Mallory, I just want a Cat Town, so when she said she was moving on, I let her. (Though talking with her every day made me feel horribly guilty, being given the opportunity to say "stay" and not doing it. D: )
In DS-related news, I finally got my shipment from Amazon for a clear case for my DS and screen protectors. Have been meaning to do this since I got the DS two Christmases ago. >_>
Yeah, unless you use an insanely time-consuming reset method, it's gonna be awhile before you get all cats. Once you build the campsite though, that'll help a lot.
Also, I feel a lot worse when I make a moving villager stay right after they said how good the move would be for them and how much they're looking forward to it. xD So don't feel bad about letting Mallory go.
Anybody been playing latley? The snow in my town is all gone! O.O I've done the weeding thing twice now, and gotten some cool stuff. I think i'll give up on the flowers for now let the weeds grow.
