How do I tell how much money I have?

[Nerdlin Geeksly]

I don't know where to look.

There's no money in this game

It's all blind barter systems. You give them items and hope you get back what you need.

It's points that get converted into items as an reward

if you still dont understand, take barter items to a port and feed them one by one to the exchange. the bar at the bottom of that interface is filled by either trade or missions. when filled you get stuff, what you get is listed in the stockexchange listing.

Or click on station representative near crate. They give list of items wanted with pricing.

btw you can also see what locations want, even in other systems, by clicking on the top right locations, which can also help to plan your travels etc.

Modifying OPs question: can we get some item value statistics? For example the "reward value" gives you items in that associated value...it would be good if we KNEW these, at least in a ballpark, to help newer players know what's more valuable to take out for trade and what to blind-drop for expected value back.

You can get those, the trader tells you when you visit the station, it could be somewhere a little more convenient.

A tutorial about Bartering in general would be useful. I thought the point value of each item was how much they were willing to take per time.

yeah this would be helpful, the game tells you the value of items you sell when you land and go to the crate to trade, but they don't display the value of the items you can get because they don't display those items at all when trading.

In the far future there is no money. Only the barter, and the laughter of the thirsting quasimorphs.

True, but also TLDR for those watching;
Merc work isn't legal so stations aren't really able to recognise your profession or trade with you in general because basically anything a merc would have is a papertrail leading to some ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, which would implicate either that station or even the company, the barter system occurs without currency as that transaction would otherwise be recorded, which does mean the merc is totally exploited for it, but as far as station interaction goes it's their only choice, so they have to bite it.

A mercenary company in the world without money. Now cloning makes much more sense. No merc worth their salt would work for clothes and synthetic beef!

There is money but its badly implemented.
After doing a mission you get reward points that are converted into items that you get as a reward.
Every item in the game has a price/cost.
If you do a lot of missions sometimes you have leftover points that are accumulated in that faction.
For example, i noticed once that i had 2000 trading points with a faction and i traded more and got all the points.
The devs could implement a curency system very easy, maybe they will do it later
