Quick answer
The fastest way to get money in Paralives
Open the console with Ctrl+F1 (Cmd+F1 on Mac), type JACKPOT and press Enter — that adds 50,000 Paradimes instantly. Need an exact figure? PRINTMONEY 20000 adds exactly what you type. Repeat PRINTMONEY as many times as you want for essentially unlimited money. Early Access has no Steam achievements, so no money cheat can cost you one.
The codes
All 8 Paralives money cheat codes
Every documented money command in the Early Access build. Codes are case-insensitive; commands with <amount> take a number after a space.
| Command | Paradimes | Effect | Save-safe note |
|---|---|---|---|
PIGGYBANK | +1,000 | Grants 1,000 Paradimes to the household. | Small top-up when a bill or item bug drains household funds. |
MAKEITRAIN | +10,000 | Grants 10,000 Paradimes to the household. | Quick furniture or renovation buffer for build tests. |
JACKPOT | +50,000 | Grants 50,000 Paradimes to the household. | Fast sandbox funding for a big build, not a budget save. |
LOTTERY | +1 to +100,000 (random) | Grants a random amount between 1 and 100,000 Paradimes. | Sandbox chaos only — the random payout breaks budget runs. |
PAYDAY | + one salary payment | Grants money equal to the selected Para's salary. | Handy after testing a workday or occupation bug. |
PRINTMONEY <amount> | + any amount you type | Grants the specified amount of Paradimes to the household. | Use for build tests, then note the amount in your save log. |
SETMONEY <amount> | Sets the exact balance | Overwrites the household balance to the value you pass in. | Good for restoring a challenge save to a planned budget. |
CLEARBILLS | Clears all pending bills | Deletes every pending bill the household owes. | Run after outage or bill testing on a copied save. |

Pick the right code
Which money cheat to use, by situation
Testing a build
Use PRINTMONEY with the exact budget you want to stress-test, then note the amount in your save log so the run stays auditable.
Clean legacy start
SETMONEY overwrites the balance outright — set it once at the start of a Legacy or Not So Berry run for a reproducible opening, then never touch it again.
Budget or Rags to Riches runs
Skip the console entirely. The Money Builder tool plans goal-driven sequences without pasting cheats, which keeps challenge runs legitimate.
Bill bug recovery
If a bug double-charges bills, run CLEARBILLS on a copied save first, confirm the balance, then continue on the main save.

Money Builder toolParalives money cheats FAQ
- How do you cheat money in Paralives?
- Open the console with Ctrl+F1 (Cmd+F1 on Mac), type a money code such as JACKPOT for 50,000 Paradimes or PRINTMONEY followed by an amount, and press Enter. The funds are added to the household balance instantly.
- Is there an infinite money cheat in Paralives?
- There is no single 'infinite' toggle, but PRINTMONEY accepts any amount and can be repeated without limit, and SETMONEY overwrites the balance to whatever value you pass. In practice that is unlimited money.
- Do Paralives money cheats disable achievements?
- They can't — Paralives ships no Steam achievements in Early Access. The store page lists none and Steam's achievement schema for the game is empty, so there is nothing for a money code to disable. The only thing worth protecting is your save.
- What is the difference between PRINTMONEY and SETMONEY?
- PRINTMONEY adds the typed amount on top of your current balance. SETMONEY replaces the balance entirely with the value you pass — useful for setting an exact starting budget.
- How do money cheats work on Mac?
- Identically — just open the console with Cmd+F1 instead of Ctrl+F1. Every money code works the same on macOS. See the dedicated Mac cheats guide for the full key mapping.
- Can I remove money instead of adding it?
- Yes. SETMONEY accepts any value, so SETMONEY 0 empties the household balance — the standard opening move for a Rags to Riches run.
- What is the best money cheat for beginners?
- JACKPOT is the simplest — one word, no amount to type, and it gives 50,000 Paradimes instantly. Once you are comfortable, graduate to PRINTMONEY for exact amounts or SETMONEY for precise budget starts.
- Can you get banned for using Paralives money cheats?
- No. Paralives is a single-player game with no anti-cheat system. Money cheats are built into the game by the developers — they are features, not exploits. Use them freely without any risk to your Steam account or save files.
