I always use cheats. I'm poor enough, don't wanna play poor sims.
Basically this. I give them money for a nice house, with some extra to expand, and everything they would need. I don't particularly enjoy going to community lots for skills. My sims are pretty home bound, especially when they get married, have kids, have friends moving in. I'm quite controlling, and like to know that every sim is doing something productive. So I need to be able to level "every" skill at home.
Anyway, I think the most money I've had in a single household was like 6-700k. I think I took away half or so, but they quickly got it back (two sims with Shrewd trait). I'll also "transfer" money to a young sim moving out of their parents house, and getting their own.
ALSO, painting is insane for money. I think I've seen large masterpieces going for 10-12k. Its crazy. I don't sell paintings that often, though, only when the sims have whims to do so. I often (always) have huge basements with collections in them, and will only sell duplicates.
Haven't made much money from fishing or gardening. I tend to keep most harvested plants (for cooking and what have you), and fish is turned into plasma packs as I usually play vampires.
