As some may know I posted under Suggestions on the topic of Financial Difficulty having received a warning myself and trying to help future managers. My feeling was that once one gets into difficulty it is like being in a pit and trying to dig yourself out the hole just gets deeper.

Having played the game for a number of years arguably I should not have got into this situation. However, having had tons of cash I paid scant attention to finances. It's like a millionaire receiving a few car parking fines - what's the problem?

Anyway I have now got things under control, I believe, as I have had no further warnings and actually have a positive cash balance. This brings me to my question which shows a complete lack of understanding of how finances work.

Under the Economy tab my cash balance is $9,695,771. However, my balance for this week is showing as -$6,220,920. Last week my balance was around $7,000,000 and of that I paid $2,000,000 into the mediacenter. So by my calculations my cash balance would be -$1,220,920 That is $7,000,00 minus $2,000,000 = $5,000,00 and then my expenditure this week is $6,220,920 more than my income. So to me that equals -$1,220,920. How can I have a positive and not negative cash balance? Am I missing a very basic simple rule?



balance for this week = -$6,220,920 = expenditure this week

Are you sure ?

salut, although the message is convoluted and more so using the translator since I don't speak any English, I understand, or I want to understand that they are 2 different weeks, so the difference is in the 2 million mediacenter, in 1 you have a balance negative of 1220920, but in the 2 without mediacenter, it should be + 779080
Did I understand correctly?

I appreciate feedback by Jack, Drogon and especially Kharmax, since s/he doesn't speak English. I will try to simplify things.

So I am posting here results for this week.

Today 27th July:
Financial History for This Week:
Income 2,059,040
Expenditure -7,495,471
Balance -5,436,431

That I understand.

Cash = 5,119,758

When I get my next financial statement I will post it here. Then I can ask the question. (Thank you for bearing with me).

Wait, I reread that and have a question. You "paid" 2 million or received 2 million?

Sorry but I've been extremely busy recently (and still am) so haven't had a chance to follow up on what I wrote before but here is my first simple question:

What is my cash? Where does it come from?

To explain - my income for the season so far is 87,603,421
My expenses are 105,137,076
Balance of -17,553,655

My cash is 9,864,800 - I don't understand how this is arrived at (especially since it has been increasing during the period while my expenses are more than my income).

Let me try to explain to you my finances.

This season:
Expenses 124.700.398
Income 113.327.015
Balance -11.373.383

My cash is 123.571.053. Where that come from?

Ups I must had a cash like 135.000.000 before season started .

For you it is simple as that, you had 27+ millions in cash before season started.
