Humble Beginnings 12/13/24

 Levi Carter moved into the motel with very little cash.  He immediately moved his fiancé Lucy in, and they were married in short order.  Levi continued working in the fast-food industry, while Lucy worked on gaining the skills necessary to get a job.  Unfortunately, the only job that became available to her was in the Criminal career.  She was okay for a while but then got arrested and sent to jail. Upon returning home, she picked up where she left off and was even successful enough to gain a promotion.  That's where her luck ran out, however, as she did not return home on the last day of spring.  (As she was still employed in Criminal on the last day of the round, I allowed Levi to skip paying the crime syndicate, even though she technically died before I finished playing.)  Levi will shoulder on alone with a savings balance of $2058, after paying bills/rent.

Rose and Alvin (Parker) got married as soon as they moved in and just before their baby girl (Dominique) was born.  Rose considered quitting the police force to work full-time at the diner, but she was loath to give up her substantial paycheck, especially since Alvin has been doing so well running the place during the day and working nights at the convenience store.  They decided to maintain the status quo.  By the end of spring the business is up to rank 6, Rose has obtained several promotions and become pregnant again, and Dominique is a child.  After paying their property taxes and spending a bit of money on the house, they have $5166 saved up.  They have a long way to go before reaching Upper Middle Class, but they're comfortable in the meantime.

Happy Simming!
