It's harder to earn money if you only let your sims have jobs. I think it's pretty much impossible to play on normal lifespan and have a couple earn 750,000 + a big house from just jobs. It's the activities like gardening, painting, etc. that make sims filthy rich. If you cut back on those things, you'll have more of a challenge.
ETA: Even if two sims began YA at the top of their careers and worked every day for 5,000 simoleons a day, which no sim does, they still wouldn't earn 500,000 simoleons from careers.
5,000/day × 48 (YA + Adult length) × 2 = 480,000.
Several careers at top level gives you 10 000 a DAY. Plus side incomes you basically get even if you don't ask for them, like if you need to up your paining skill you literally have to go into build mode and delete the finished painting or earn like 1500 per painting after a while.
But my main point is that even with this mermaid couple who literally don't do anything but a few batches of fizz a week... they own a 40x30 lot in Sulani full of luxury items and their bills are about 3200 a week (depending on how much fruit they have in their inventories) which they earn in one yard sale per week selling Fizz no problem.
