LadyCFII commented in another thread that 2 hours equals 1 year game time. The dollar sign button projects their income for one week. Bear with me, please, math is not my forte... But if it's one week (unpaused) real time, wouldn't that equal 84 years game time-- beyond the lifespan of the character especially since most start in their mid to late twenties. If it is supposed to be one week game time, wouldn't they amass that weekly projected amount in 2-3 minutes?
And by the same token, shouldn't the characters amass an annual salary every 2 hours?
