You CAN cheat in money you guys are just using the wrong method. Instead of modifying the total amount of money you have variable, trigger the money add script and place in the amount of money you want.
Go to the console type in "$PutGold(X)" without the quotes and with changing X to be the amount of money you want to add. This calls the add money script and tells it to add whatever X is to your current amount. It works, and it sticks.
