How are your sims doing financially?

I do mine a little differently. I use the "familyfunds" cheat to bulk up the bank account according to my Sims' activities. So, say my sim reached the top of the business career, then I would use the family funds cheat to give him a a salary that I think lines up with that. I do that because I use story progression to set really aggressive property and income taxes (I play primarily in Bridgeport; sometimes a single bill is 50,000+ Simoleons at 16%) so they have to make more money than these big-time careers pay out!
