other than donating and converting your credits to cash, i dont see money has a huge issue in this game.
Excepting when people "retire" and there wealth is distributed to the world. Then there is some money in amounts let loose.
I'm pretty active with crimes and dont even have 100k.
I also think my 80 bucks or what ever I spent should be able to be given to my friends. If I had known coming in to this game I would never be able to quit and give a pal my earnings, I never would have donated money in the first place.
Now that I know, I think it doesn't take a brain surgen to realize there is little or no reason for me to donate any more.
