Money makes the world go round and neopoints make Neopia go round. Just like any other country or state Neopia has poor people and rich people and people in the middle. But which one are you? Which one you are really depends on you and your mindset. Is the glass half full or half empty? If the glass is half full you will probably be pretty easy to please but on the other hand if the glass is half empty pleasing you may be impossible.
Well, make a quick decision about you position in Neopia are you Poor, Rich or Inbetween and write it down. Then take the following quiz:

A. In the Soup Kitchen, I was just begging for food, items and compassion a few minutes ago
B. Where I chat to most of my NeoFriends
C. My domain I rule over all and if I�m in a good mood they all get faeries
Mostly As - Poor Person
Being poor doesn�t mean that you can�t afford four Faerie Paint Brushes to paint you four Krawks it means that you only have around 500np or less. And even if you only have 500np you�re still not doing badly, you have quite a bit of NP to buy food and toys for your pet. You can add at least another 1,000np per day you log onto Neopets to that 500np as winnings from games and then there are all the free things on Neopets like the Giant Omelette and Tiki Tack Tombola.
My advice if you�re one of these people:
o You should only have one or two pets, it costs less and you can always create or adopt more when you are able to take care of the properly
o Play games and get all of the free stuff that you can so that you don�t have to spend as much
o Budget, find out which food items sell at cheaper items and feed your pets with those
o After a little while open a shop and sell �fast selling� items like food and books but make sure you price using the Shopping Wizard or your items might be priced too high or too low
o Ask questions and lots of them; if you don�t understand something just ask the stupid question everyone was a newbie at some stage
Mostly Bs - Inbetween Person
These people are in my opinion the most important part of Neopia. They often run the best priced shops and are the people most likely to give help and advice, where would the newbies be without them?
My advice if you�re one of these people:
o Keep up the good work
Mostly Cs - Rich Person
Rich people have a reasonable amount of NP and there are several levels within rich like so-rich-you-should-own-neopia and enough-to-buy-neat-stuff etc. and some inbetween
My advice if you�re one of these people:
o Don�t forget that you were once a Newbie too
o Don�t forget how fortunate you are
o Try to answer questions and be sociable
o Please (I�m begging) don�t make galleries of unbuyable items, it just makes everyone else feel worthless
In conclusion: the quiz meant absolutely nothing. Someone who has 10,000np can consider him or herself to be rich just as someone with 1,000,000np can, being rich isn�t determined by whether everyone else playing Neopets or how many rare and valuable items you have. But still, you can�t call yourself poor unless you�re really struggling to feed and look after your pets.
Now that you�ve read this article and completed the quiz which one are you? Is it the same as at the beginning of the article? �have a think about that.
