If you've tampered with the calendar, you may have figured out that you get 10,000 bells every New Year's Day. Mr. Resetti, Tom Nook, and nobody else will notice. You can do this as many times as you think is necessary. But, there are a few catches:

1. The most you'll be able to get is 990,000 bells, because the calendar only goes up to the year 2099. (Unconfirmed)
2. You cannot alternate between two years to collect the money. (Also unconfirmed)
3. You must collect each 10,000 bells seperately. If you try to let the bells stack up, you'll end up with six New Year's letters, and only one bag of bells. (Confirmed)

If you need money quickly, remember this "cheat." It takes only one minute to collect 10,000 bells.

From what i've read from time travelers, the game goes up to 2030. And if you want to make money, just fish and sell fruit and to jobs for villagers.

I get the cash by loading up Bud on my GBA island and let him drop wads of cash for me...

I get my money the easy way, without cheating, TURNIPS!!! I swear, it's the easiest way to get (and lose!) money!! I have 1,000,000+ bells by turnips.
