Leveling up too fast
The best way to not level up as fast is to not play as much.

My advice is more of how to make money. Short of just stopping, there is no way to not level up.
Always have your Springfield people working, crops growing, etc. so they can make you money. Put them on jobs that you know you can come back to and collect. If you can't check for 10 hours, put them on 12 hour jobs. If a random task of 1 hour pops up and you can't finish it in an hour, it can wait.
Also, think about buying decorations that increase your multiplier. The higher it is, the more money you make. I hate house farms, but you can have more than one house, just don't stick them together. And forget the extra brown houses, unless you can check your game constantly.
It took me 10 months from when I started playing until I bought all the land. It took me about 4 months to level up completely and that was when it only went up to level 20. You just started. And I never bought donuts until I had been playing for about 7 months. So I leveled up without the premiums, at first.
