How to unlock the Worth Every Penny achievement in XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Definitive Guide

This achievement will just come over time. There is no need to manipulate saved games and sell all your items. You can make over 1k in credits from the end of the month council meetings alone, not to mention some of the side missions throughout the month (I got mine doing a side mission where I gave India 5 Plasma rifles for 2,100 credits even though by the end of the month, I had all but 5 satellites in orbit and would be getting 1,085 credits). If you're looking to complete this game, don't waste your time headhunting this achievement. You will get it naturally.

I agree, I think my second to last monthly report issued me something like 1,047 credits and I had lost 7 countries.. I think the game just throws a ton of money at you leading up to the end fight.

Easy way to unlock this is to save your game, then sell all your items on the grey market. After the achievement pops, just reload your game :) You will probably have to wait until you have shot down a couple of ufo's as some of the navigational computers and power cores sell for some decent cash.

Near the end of the game, if you built enough satellites and placed them on countries that did not leave the XCOM project, you should receive more then 1000 credits. Each month can take several hours depending on whether you decide to accept missions or not. You could skip ahead a few months just to get this trophy faster if you have enough income from countries before the panic level reaches its maximum.

List of income per country:

Egypt: §70
South Africa: §80
Nigeria: §100
China: §100
Japan: §100
India: §60
Australia: §60
United Kingdom: §100
Russia: §150
France: §80
Germany: §100
United States: §180
Canada: §100
Mexico: §50
Argentina: §70
Brazil: §80

The more satellites launched into space, the more money we receive at the end of the month.

There are 2 ways to get this trophy:

1) You need to cover half the world with satellites and at the next meeting of the Council you will receive the coveted amount and

2) You may be given a task from the Council, the reward of which will be from 1k. For example, in August 2015, I was given the task of delivering 4 plasma rifles. The reward was 1.6k credits. After completion, they immediately gave the trophy.

If you only need a trophy, then it’s better to save and sell everything you have on the black market - somewhere by the middle of the game you will definitely have $1000 worth of goods in your warehouses
