Almost $20 for Sleazy Motel? Someone please explain

ikr?? in other games (not from EA of course) I could get more "premium money" (donuts in Tapped Out) with the same amount of cash... EA games are always like that, people say. I just had about 600 donuts last month but now I'm down to 162 and cant decide whether to get Abe Lincoln or Duffman or the fireworks!! I would buy more donuts but I feel like I've spent so much in the past few months just for Tapped Out lol...
