Yeah, so, just interested in hearing how other people feel about balancing, profits and finances.

How far above 0 do Y'all feel like you need to be before You're comfortable with running at a loss?

I'm currently roughly breaking even, but I'm 45 million in the black, so I am beginning to wonder if I might be overcautious.

I am in the black 58.5. I was about 44 when I started playing, and of course loading up my team with developmental players helped that. But with 6 all-stars, I expect salaries to go way up next season

Yeah, my team was... I think around +4-5 when I took them, and they'd been -10, -12-ish the start of the season (I took them right at the end of the playoffs of 2047).

So I've run pretty solidly in the black for '48, '49, and '50 (In LL6), then got boosted to keep a modest profit by the increased attendance in LL5 in '51. Now my wages have ballooned enough for me to roughly break even, so maybe it's a natural process.

Wages are set to fall, though. Some of my starters have clearly peaked.

Well, gotta find someone worth the money, but I sure might need it to not fall back down into LL5 :D
