Is there a cheat that takes away funds from a household?

Off the top of my head, I would just use the family funds cheat. Type “testingcheatsenabled true”, press Enter, then type “familyfunds ” (without the quotation marks). Entering “familyfunds Miller 1000” will set the Miller family’s household funds to $1000. Hope this helps! :)

Are you not using NRaas mods? MasterController's Family Funds command allows you to subtract the amount you want from a household's cash total by entering a negative number.

@igazor I'm just getting back into TS3, and I've kind of forgotten a few things. After you mentioned about NRaas I remembered, thank you. :)

Never would've thought that'd be an issue! If you've just done something try control z to undo the last action.

There's all kinds of reasons one might want to cheat money away. For example, very often I see the houses of my sims' friends or neighbors need some things that they cannot purchase for themselves like furniture, appliances, items for kids or pets. I'll use testingcheatsenabled to Build/Buy for them, but then my active household gets charged. The Family Funds MC mod command allows me to settle up when finished.

Or the active household, through a bug in the game, might receive funds for selling something huge like a car that they never really owned so an adjustment is in order.

I can't really think of many instances where ctrl-z actually undoes anything in TS3, at least not in Live Mode. :)

I've removed funds from a household to pay for taxi rides with MC family funds commands.I've also used it sometimes to replace funds from furniture they found at the junkyard to make it seem like they just paid for repairs instead of for new replacements.
