# Modify the starting money on my Nova-Life server

{% hint style="info" %}
The starting money is set in `roleplay.json` with:

* `startMoney` : money on hand at creation
* `startBank` : money in bank at creation
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Do not add spaces in numbers: write `2000` (not `2 000`).
{% endhint %}

Save the new configuration.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Restart the server**

Restart the server to apply the configuration.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

* **The server no longer starts** : `roleplay.json` is probably invalid. Restore a backup, then try again.
* **The value does not change in-game** : this mainly concerns **new characters**. Test by creating a character.
* **I can't find startMoney** : make sure you are editing `NovaLifeServer/Config/roleplay.json` (not another file).

### FAQ

#### Does this change existing players' money?

No. It changes the starting money at **creation** of the character.

#### Can I set very high amounts?

Yes, but avoid absurd amounts.\
It can unbalance the server's economy.
