Easy money - let the family starve for a bit
By FredyC
Yeah, it's bit harsh, but unchecking food for family for every other day will give you $15 (you will pay $5 for son's medicine). You can also cut off the heat on the day when they are eating. That means other $10 saved. It really helps eventually.

It was mentioned in other guides, but speed is essential to get even more money. Don't bother explaining to immigrants what is wrong with their papers. Once you see mistake, just punch the red stamp and call for next. Also don't bother with searching (only when it's required by rules for Kolechians), taking fingerprints and detaining. It saves a lot of time.

Once you get to the point where you have to stamp reason for denial, you can still omit searching / fingerprints. Just see wrong gender, point it out and stamp denial right away. Even if the gender is correct, the game will be satisfied until you check the scanner photo.

Following this tips I had $80 on Day 2, $135 on Day 4, $210 on Day 6, $375 on Day 11 and than it never got under $300. I finished on Day 30 with $320, completely healthy family and traveled to Obristan without problems.

@pikachuporkchops it says in the categories that it contains secrets. Just saying. The categories are set from the start.

@Mr. Stig When I first read the guide, there wasn't a spoiler tag. Sorry if I somehow managed to anger you.

I marked it as a spoiler, but in my opinion it doesn't matter because most of the people will look in there anyway...
