When you start a new game you have a bit of money to get you going, this doesnt count as money earned. your earning is lower then your current ammount because this is what youve acually made selling whatever. so the earnings and money you have will never be the same cause you spend, as well as what you start out with when you start a new game and if youve spent money on things for your game you need to subtract that. would be kind of mean for LDW to make you start a game with nothing.
