Ridiculously unaffordable prices...

Yes, it was 2 llamazooms on 2 separate occasions. It's getting ridiculous to play. I can see there being a degree of difficulty to keep things interesting BUT they've made it impossible to succeed in the game. Everything is about moneymaking. This game has become more stressful and I have a foot out the door. After that event to open the dance career trait, that I spent $$ to accomplish, I lost interest. This doesn't seem like the old Sims I played years ago, I can't spend my hard earned funds on a money hungry enterprise.
