Forgetting the Past Challenge

Lets see if I understand.
So the focus Sim is the Child?
The family starts with 30K before buying Slipshod Mesquite and adds a tent for the child to sleep.
Can the parents get jobs or contribute to household funds by collecting, painting, writing or crafting?
Since aging is ON (at that point) can Youth Potion be used?
Is running a retail lot the only means of making the Million?

• Yes, the focus Sim is the child but you are free to play the parents as well.
  
• What I had to do was buy a lot, add 6K simoleons to their bank (won't be quite 30K at this time), go into Manage Worlds and then Move them. You will have 30K at that time and then move them to the Slipshod Mesquite lot. They should end up with less than 5K afterwards. (hope that makes sense)
  
• The parents are not allowed to get jobs. They can earn money any way possible as long as it is not by getting a job. The purpose is to have your Sim live as poorly as possible so it would go against the spirit of the challenge if the money started flowing in so to speak.
  
• You shouldn't need a youth potion unless you want to keep your focus Sim a teen longer than normal to earn her more money. If you would like to have her a teen longer, then yes, you can use a Youth Potion. After he/she becomes a YA, then you would turn aging off and it won't be necessary.
  
• If your focus Sim gets married, your spouse is allowed to have a regular job but your focus Sim is only allowed to run the retail business. Any children that you may have will be able to also get a job. Also, any other means you have to make money is also allowed such as collecting, painting, writing or crafting.
