Agreed. I was especially pissed off with this game when, after choosing to pay higher rent so I could live within walking distance of work, it still made me keep my car, which hit me with a resultant $500+ in monthly costs between insurance payments and a mechanical breakdown.

Same here. I would also sometimes add "food" to that list, though very briefly.
Although, I must add, I was soft-poor.

True, I have often eaten the cheapest food I could find and once or twice went without eating for a day.
But, I always had a safety net: while I may have been low on money and even without money on occasion, I could always have borrowed money from family knowing that they would give it to me if I asked. But, I was saving that for if I ever really really needed it.
[1] ok ok, I know that sometimes this is unplanned or you already have children before you have no money
[2] often had to turn down things I wanted to do because I couldn't afford them
