I don't use it so much anymore but if I have a specific back story then I will. I do have some wealthy by motherlode sims but that's because their stories include pre-existing wealth and investments or there's another logical reason. I have the Elderberry family renting out one of their rooms to another random sim, so she is paying them rent each week through Kaching.
Now that we can transfer money between households, I use it much less. I do transfer money around as teens grow up and move out on their own or attend university. Their parents have to figure out how much they can part with for their child. I used to use Freerealestate more to simulate that.
I have no shame about giving households a bit more money to decorate if I want that. This doesn't mean that every household is well off or that they all have the fanciest decor, it just means I personalize their decor without worrying a lot about money. I do have some households that are closer to the "rags" end of the spectrum.
