Taxes. Tax those simmies into the ground. It's so funny looking at Tobias Outlaw, who has had to sell basically everything but his stove, fridge, a counter, couch, shower, and potty just to afford his bills + mortgage. Tax time is going to be grand, considering that his cousin/girlfriend is moving in and all her money is going to tuition. That, plus a pending mouth to feed and 3k taxes....delicious. The sins of the father blah de blah blah.
see I was doing that too - I was taking $50 a day out of my sims' funds for a mortgage before I installed ikea stuff, but once I installed that I found that the familyfunds cheat stopped working so now I've gotta mess around with insim and I just can't be assed to do that all the time.

To tell the truth I've also started skipping the car alarm lately just because by the time my sims can afford a car, they're at most a couple days away from being able to replace it if it's stolen. Poor financial strategy in real life, but those whomploads of § have to get spent somewhere, I guess.
Well, in real life, car alarms don't consume immense amounts of time when used. They also won't prevent your car from being stolen at all. But a big black guy named Ben can.

On most lots, I don't even use the burglar alarm anymore. As soon as the burglar music starts, I smite them via the batbox. It's much more fun than the stupid fight with the wussy cop.
In my most recently established hood, taxes are half of the lot value per week. Families get the handout reduced to 5K before they even buy a lot, and EAxis careers are verboten. They've got to come up with other ways to make their money. Most of them are still living under roofs with no walls (except the lucky woman who married Mr. Big on Thursday.)
Any family that reaches zero family funds must immediately move to a Poor House. Money from the sale of their lot/house goes immediately to the mayor, because it's an awful, oppressive system. In the Poor House, they must work to pay off their debt (earn $1000 per family to merit release.)
I've just started this as an experiment, and it's sim-Sunday night. Sim-Monday morning is tax time, so today I find out who's going to the Poor House.
Edit to clarify, to my own satisfaction.

Oh, that is evil. I'm borrowing that idea!

Cool. I'll probably be raising the 'release merit' amount for sims that have more badges, otherwise some smartass who has a gold robot making badge could get his family out in a day and that wouldn't be any fun. I may end up charging bed-and-board for each family member against their Poor House earnings.
