AthyYes, I'm certain. When the son of the first generation inherited the house, the bank balance was only what he had in the bank as a translator. When he and his wife died, the was about1300 in the bank, but when the house passed to their son,the balance totalled only The 480 or so that he had in the bank from his job and so on. When my last peeps passed, there was just over 3000. When I adopted my latest little gal, her adoption document stated that she had, I think, 4085 in the bank, and when she "arrived" at the house, the total balance was 4085. Right now they have 4830. As I mentioned, I did wonder how anyone could ever have enough coins for the upgrades! Like Miss Kathy, each time I was eagerly looking for a fatter bank balance. The good thing is that at least each new generation has had progressively more money in the bank when they moved in, but with the least expensive renovations being 9500, I can't see them happening for at least several more generations I do appreciate any assistance you can provide. Other than food (not organic), I buy very little and have in fact sold off most of the items bought for the first three generations.
