I am curious if my situation is normal or not. Do some teams struggle with money in this game? My current bank balance is: $101,070,056.00

I started the 2031 season at $3.6M. I wound up scrounging for budget players and cutting veterans who were getiing to be a bit much for the shoestring operation I was having to run. Fortunately, I had a really good showing this season, making back more than the team lost over those seasons. DFB is currently sitting at an almost comfortable $11.9M. tl;dr: Yes, there are teams who struggle financially.

This tax goes up and up the higher you climb. Not to mention you'll eventually develop better players who will demand more cash. You're in a great spot, imo. You can still add to it and win at the same time.

But most lower division teams should be making money. As PrivateSnowflate said, you need a nest egg for upper divisions. I've averaged an 8 million dollar loss the past 3 seasons, and blown off more than 40 million since reaching Legends. I have gained an appreciation of how finances work this season tho. I've kept some overpriced veterans around to fatten up some career stats. If the financial aspect was more stringent I would have had to cut these favourite players.
