Same here. I was actually quite impressed that we could acheive glory in finishing this without spending money- I hope TL bring sum more out like this like a reward for all the money we spend. Every other game of TL's- if you want to get ahead - you HAVE to spend money- so I really liked this one, cause it was about s**** and just stupid persistence lol. So I get annoyed when people try and burst my bubble.
When I say " get ahead" I mean being in the top levels of the games. I tried a few small restaurants and it's near impossible to " get ahead"( my version) when not spending a dime. I couldn't even keep my food stock up. A friend of mine and myself actually tested this method- mine, with 0 money spent, vs hers, with money spent every week. And trust me mines closed, and hers is flourishing.
