Penny Pincher

📖 The story

Some people get rich by earning more. Your Sim gets rich by refusing to spend. For an entire lifetime, no single purchase may ever cross §50 — every wall, every meal, every stick of furniture bought in the cheapest possible increments.

💝 The goal

Reach **§50,000 net worth** without ever making a single purchase over §50.

🎀 Packs required

🏡 Setup

🚀 Getting started

• Create one thrifty Sim (*Frugal*-leaning traits suit). Move onto a cheap small lot:

⌨️ Cheats to type

📋 General rules

• No money cheats after the §200 start.
• Income from any honest source is allowed.
• No gifts or transfers.

✨ Specific rules

• No single transaction may exceed §50 — ever. This covers furniture, build items, food and bills paid where they can be paid in parts.
• Build your whole home from sub-§50 pieces only.

✅ What you can do

• Make as many purchases as you like, as long as each item costs §50 or less.
• Use free, found, crafted or harvested items freely.
• Use `bb.moveobjects`.

⛔ What you can't do

• No single purchase over §50 — check the buy price of every object.
• No money cheats.
• No accepting expensive gifts or hand-me-downs to dodge the cap.

🎮 If you don't own the packs

Already base-game. Tiny Living just adds cheap space-saving furniture; without it, build small and pick the cheapest swatches.

💡 Strategy tips

• Build with the cheapest wall and floor patterns, then decorate over time as your *skills* (not spending) raise your home's livability.
• Cook at home from cheap ingredients; never order delivery.
• Many "expensive" needs (fun, social) are free — parks, libraries, and gym equipment you slowly assemble piece by sub-§50 piece.

💕 Milestones — track your progress

🔥 Want it harder?

• Drop the cap to **§20** per purchase for the entire life.
• Forbid selling anything too — wealth must come purely from banked earnings.

🏆 Scoring

Track your *most expensive single purchase* across the whole run; bragging rights for the lowest ceiling actually used.
