if you want a money tree, plant 90,000 bells with a golden shovel, then water it with a golden watering can. be careful though. 80% of the time, it'll die and you'll loose all ur bells D: (i speak from experience)
Make a routine. For example, my routine is:
1. Breed/plant 25 flowers.
2. Gather fruit from every tree. Plant half, sell half.
3. Dig up 5 fossils.
4. Catch 15 bugs.
5. De-weed the town.
6. Chat to everyone AT LEAST once.
7. Dig up valuable flowers to sell.
8. Buy from Tom Nook's.
9. Deposit all money into the bank.
10. Sleep.
I do this every day, and I currently have 5 million bells in my bank. I've been doing it since it came out, so my town is almost a forest. o3o.
If you want to cheat, set the date to Christmas. Your mom will send you 10,000 bells, but your town will get LOADS of weeds.
Everything dead needs a funeral. Exept threads. Those just need a lock.
To get a golden watering can, you must keep your town perfect for a week. Divide up your town in 16 (16×16) squares using patterned squares. Make sure there are at least 10-12 trees and 3 flowers in each 16×16 square. Pull up all weeds and clovers. Talk to neighbors once per day, give them medicine when needed,and keep them from moving in order to keep them "happy." Talk to Pelly or Phylis at the town hall and ask about the environment. They should say something like "[your town name] has gone a long way!" Now, your town is perfect! Keep it perfect for a week and receive a golden watering can!
Rewards: Well, obviously a golden watering can! You can also get golden roses by doing the following: Plant at least four red roses. Someday, you'll see black roses. Wait until the black roses wilt (turn brown.) Water them with your golden watering can. Wait a day and you'll have golden roses!
All About Golden Roses: -they never wilt so you don't have to water them
-they are more valuable than normal flowers if you sell them at Nook's
To get a golden net, you must find and donate all the bugs. You probably already know bugs are everywhere. You can only catch the ones outside.
Hints for finding bugs: They are on they ground, in trees when you shake them, underground when you dig holes, on the surface of water, on the trunks of trees, and under other specific conditions. To find dangerous ones like tarantulas, scorpions, and bees:
Bees-Shake normal trees w/o fruits and you'll soon find the swarm of bees. Quickly, open the menu before they catch you and whip out your net. When the bees are the farthest away, (QUICKLY) close your menu and whack them(this is the hard part-you probably won't get it on your first try.)
Scorpions/Tarantulas:
They come out in summer nights. They can sting you! Inch up behind them slowly before whacking them.
Tips to get rare bugs: -Plant coconut trees on the beach to get special beetles during summer
-Dig holes where you hear funny sounds in the ground
-Dragonflies stop at signs with strange tips on them. Catch them there
I've tried XxEmoninjaxX's tip for money trees a using a different amount:45,000bells. I chopped down a certain tree and occasionally got a money tree with threes bags of 30,000 bells! I like using my method although it has a lower percent of working because 45,000 bells is not that hard to lose/make.
I love catching sharks--except when they run away or bite the fishing bait when I don't expect it! Sharks are worth a good amount of bells too. My favorite fish to catch is the Arapaima. It comes during spring in the circular part of the river... at least for me. It's probably obvious, but don't run near water during rare fish seasons.
