How are your sims doing financially?

Mine can be at any level since I play entire towns and rotate between the families so there's anything from being homeless and living on community lots to the richest families in towns that have been established for generations while newer towns won't have as many varied levels of wealth in the resident families.

Seeing as I'm playing the Pinstar 10 generation challenge where you spend all but 1800S on a blank lot with one Sim, and my second gen is a child, they have around 13,000 I think. Each time they get around that much, I add to the house, which started as a blank wall with a toilet and shower on one side and bed on the other. I can only play a few hours on the weekends. Last weekend, the daughter got her own room finally and the outside of the house got painted. Oh and I added a fence around the garden after discovering zombies eat gardens. We're about to lose the dad who brings in around 6k a week with his job (he's a senior nearing the end of his lifespan). Mom has a nearly perfect garden which brings in a good amount of simolias each day. It will be a long while before the family is comfortable but they'll make it. :wink:

My current household, which is my legacy family has a little over 100k. Their home is a simple one story ranch style with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I do have more than enough money to add nicer stuff, but I'm very lazy when it comes to decorating and I want to avoid too much clutter because of sims getting stuck. I want to redo the garden area and move it more towards the back. I have a rule where sims living in the house aren't allowed rabbit hole jobs. So, they either have to work in a profession or be self-employed in something. Teens can get part-time jobs to help out, but when the heir grows up, he or she will start following the job rule. Family members that move out don't have to follow the job rule. The founder/matriarch of the family is a Horsewoman right now and at level 8 of her profession. Her husband works in the Paranormal Profession, so they both bring home quite a bit.

I wanted them to only be "comfortable" but due to a glitch they got $105k out of nowhere :D

@dorcsyful How do I make this glitch happen in real life? :lol:

I usually want them to be poor, to struggle in life, but then I have to cheat to buy all the CC needed to clutter their homes and they end up filthy rich... *sighs*

Comfortable

Well..right now my sim has about 5k in cash. I had some big expenses that took all me monies :s.Expenses like paying rent(using the gift simoleans option) to a few friends for living w/them until his home was ready cost about 10k, then a few of his friends had b'days, vacation to selvadorada for his bday, and then he chose to pay $750 for the expensive treatment of his elderly dog that was sick almost everyday until yesterday, when she died. I don't fret about money, b/c he has a high painting skill and can easily earn big bucks. B)

I think my sims are somewhere between comfortable and wealthy. Their house isn't very large, and they have about $50,000, does that count as wealthy?

@ChelsPlaySims Firstly, I love your avatar.

Secondly, the game seems to consider 30k+ as "wealthy", but I'd personally classify it as comfortable. :smiley:
