First city sucks, but fund everything low, give fire, police, hospitals, and schools just barely enough money and raise funding as the city grows, but utilities need to be fully funded no matter who small the city. Also, adding toll booths brings a good funding boost

Thanks, So just try to lose as little money as possible on your first city

build slowly, there is a good tutorial on the forum on how to start up a profitable city, not sure what section but if i find it ill post the link for you

but make sure to build slowly, dont go crazy and think cos you've zoned for tons of houses that you'll get rich

ok the thread was actually in this section

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=79659&enterthread=y

you dont have to follow that precisely, but it works so once you get the feel for starting a profitable city, you can try a new one the way you're used to building/planning and see how it goes from there

goodluck
