No- your gold total will not decrease. Gold is cumulative and cannot go down

I don't think that's right. You can either accumulate gold or cash it in to upgrade Barbarian Homer/Archer Lisa/Goblin Bart.

No. You only accumulate gold, you don't actually spend it. Upgrading the characters does not decrease your gold in the slightest. Don't be afraid to upgrade your characters.

Explain to me how after upgrading Babarian Homer my gold depleted. If possible use small words and type really slowly.

It takes 4000 gold to unlock Boxingham Palace (which has now been built), yet on every single menu that shows my gold totals I have way less than this as I upgraded Homer!
