Does this annoy anyone else?

Threads come up about it occasionally. I guess something which halves your income (at least on low rungs) would go a long way.

(I half hoped the thread title would be about if we're irked by thread titles which don't say what the thread is about)

I'm not really bothered by how easy it is to become rich tbh. If I don't want my sims to become rich overnight I just don't do the things that allow for that. I have some sims that are in my mind supposed to be rich so they paint or grow dragon fruit to get started. My sims that need to struggle for a little while just have a normal job and don't do any of the get rich quick activities. And when I do rags to riches they are not even allowed to sell items directly from their inventory. I like the freedom we have right now to choose what kind of life our sims will have money wise.

I do wish we could throw items in the trash though. I've made a few sims who paint but didn't really want them to get rich from painting. It was more of a hobby that they enjoyed and a way to have different artwork in their house. It would be nice to get rid of the artwork I didn't want on their lot without selling or storing it.

You can actually throw money in a fire.

I use mods to make it more difficult.
Currently I'm using Carl's Gameplay Overhaul mod where I have set career progression to be harder so they won't be promoted as easily.

it do not annoys me as a player since i am the type of player that cheats in the game and give the max amount of simoleons to my sims right on the start

No because all the sims' games are the same at giving your sims money, for years when I was playing the sims 1, I didn't know there was a money cheat for a while.

I just use the money cheat to remove money from them and give them a set balance in the sims 4

I think you can give artwork away.

I'm only on gen 4 in my generations save and they're so rich just because every generation worked. Currently, my sims is a social media influencer, so I'm thinking that there might have to be some drama so her kid isn't a millionaire forever. I guess it just depends on your play style though.

My latest one wrote a small handful of books and now makes enough to pay the bills and buy whatever they want.

Money gain is not really balanced.
As freelancer (mainly painter but also writer) you can get rich very quick. When you do actual careers it takes much longer to get rich, maybe even several generations.
