I've commented on this elsewhere and I really think it needs to be addressed and not glossed over. There should be a consistent model of time and everything within the game should conform to it. Further, if the dollar button does not forecast what the active set of parents will make, it needs to be removed.
My suggestion is to start keeping track of your financial progress and maybe you can be the one to shed light on the situation

Also, there is a suggestion and complaint thread you can post in. Some members may not look in this thread if they don't need info the subject suggests.
Also, please keep in mind that Arnie and others are just players also and have no more access to info than anyone else...meaning, if you feel it's getting glossed over, set the question to LDW proper.
Hope these suggestions help!
