The Baxter/Tang family has gone through even more changes this winter. Robi decided to change jobs and began working in the Athletic career. Karen and Steven continued in Culinary, while Andrea continued with Slacker (though she's had very little success with promotions). Rose took a job as a security guard but also bought a small community lot and started a business, Rosie's Diner, on it. Steven passed away at age 63, leaving the family a tidy sum in life insurance money. Andrea began making flower bouquets for extra cash and she and Robi also welcomed another baby girl, Nicole. Rose began dating Alvin Parker and decided to ask him to move in (he brought $14,000); he subsequently proposed to her, and she said yes. They are now expecting their first child as well. Alvin took a job in the Military, but was fired on the first day, so he ended up working in Slacker instead. He has also taken on the primary responsibility of running the diner since Rose is pregnant. By the end of the round, the house was getting pretty crowded, so I decided to move Rose and Alvin into their own place. Since Rose has a business, however, which she can only keep if she remains Lower Middle Class, I had her take $25,000 with her, which leaves the family with $10,732 after paying their property taxes and bills. Normally, I would've been okay with giving her less money and allowing her to level down a class, but I felt the circumstances warranted giving her more, and Alvin did bring in $14,000, so it made sense to me. Had the family been close to leveling up to Upper Middle Class, it might have been different, but they're nowhere near the $100,000 they need for that so...
Happy Simming!
