Just like in real life, it is never good if your Income is negative. Currently, I have a negatvie 3 SIM income for my dCity.
Other stats:
- Population - 25
- Popularity - 28
- SIM Power - 0
When I started diving into why my income was negative, I noticed that I was being taxed at an extremely high rate.
My tax rate is 111.944%. I guess the good part is that the game reflects a 100% Tax rate but when you add all the details up it results in all of my earned income being taken.
Due to this negative income, I started looking for ways to lower my taxes. Just like you do in real life, why pay everything you make to others in taxes.
I was able to find there are cards that provide a tax reduction.
Since I do not have a lot of funds, I must find one of the cheapest ways to reduce my taxes.
Church - Costs 1.71 Swap.Hive
Student - Costs 0.47 Swap.Hive
Policeman - Costs 0.60 Swap.Hive
Eco Activist - Costs 0.99 Swap.Hive
Solider - Costs 0.89 Swap.Hive
Economist - Costs 0.92 Swap.Hive
Professor - Costs 0.693 Swap.Hive
Lawyer - Costs 7.999 Swap.Hive
Young Citizen - Costs 1000 SIM or 0.372 Swap.Hive
Priest - Costs 957 SIM or 0.357 Swap.Hive
I found the Priest was the cheapest but was wondering if it would be effective without a Church. Since the Young Citizen was only slightly more expensive, I decided to go with the Young Citizen for 1000 SIM.
I will need to wait and see if the additions to my city made any impact. I am really hoping it starts turning around.
Here is my city after my additions:
