One of my family members is a Day trader, she was making $105 a day at lvl 1, she just got a promotion to lvl 2 and her pay scale went down to $60 a day... does not seem like much of a promotion to me

Have you checked the stock market lately?! lol

Seriously, that doesn't sound right.

Nope sounds odd to meeeee, but the above response did make me chuckle. hehe.

If you think about it, a Day Trader's income could plummet at any moment (and often does). It's not a bug. One of the game's tips states, "Different careers have different pay curves." (and it's true)! Salaries don't always go up.

Wow, didn't know that, I mean I knew they could curve but it never ocurred to me that they would go down, another of the games many suprises. I am liking this game more and more (obviously not so good if you take a pay cut though!!)

One of the choices of adoptee was earning a lot of money and the only real reason I didn't pick him was that his occupation was Spammer.

Having some idea from the past how Arthur's twisted mind works, I wouldn't be surprised if his income goes down to zero .

I think I saw a post from someone who said one of their peeps was a spammer. If they are reading this, what has happened?

I have a spammer, and he's only at level 2, but his income went up. I never even thought of the consequences - at least the woman of the house is the primary earner, just in case his drops down. I wonder if he can get arrested or fined for it. That would be inconvenient.

My lady of the house is a hacker, level 2.
I'm also wondering if there is the possibility of being arrested. ^^

Thanks! Now I'll know to never adopt a 'Day Trader'.

Oh wow, pay can go down?

My husband Ron's character (in the family named after us and oddly resembling us) was a Spammer, he never got arrested or fined, never lost income.
