Cause: No money, why are people out of money?

Why do people abandon buildings when they run out of money? Also shops are closing because of lack of workers so I don't understand why people are running out of money when there are jobs. Also tax is only at 8%. Help?????????

I was working on a city with limited usable land and I stabilized the economy with mostly $$$ residential/commercial/$$industry.  I had virtually no RCI abandonment issues.

 

At one point I was impelled to put down more residential when an out-of-the way oil rig and trade depot needed staffing.  I neglected the new residential area severely, as I didn't put any services nearby.  It stayed low density/low wealth as I attempted to use the oil profits to start up a computer industry.  This area kept needing to be bulldozed due to fire and no money.  I am pretty sure this area kept getting abandoned because my my industry and commercial interests were all medium wealth and above.  I had no low wealth jobs for these guys.   

 

Long answer long, check the type of wealth level and make sure you have jobs that are at that level.  A low wealth sim needs a low wealth job.  A medium wealth sim needs a medium wealth job.
