Absolutely, that's what I do too. May I recommend some of my favourite ways to make money?
Of course there's Midas Touch. Well worth the §1K or so it costs at the consignment shop. Buy the most expensive statue you can afford, Midas Touch it, sell it, buy more, repeat. Ridiculously easy to make so much money that way. I have also made §20K at a time easily by 'flipping' the elixir consignment store. I buy up the store, as much as I can, then consign it back.Wait until 17:00 and the money rolls in! Finally, wildflowers. I don't know if you have discovered the wonder of those yet. Obviously it is snowy now but when the snow melts look for the wildflowers (they are particularly prevalent at the festival grounds) and sell them. They pop wishes to collect more too, which is nice. The bright red Cosmos are the ones to watch--§600 each!
If I can figure out how I'll upload some of my gingerbread house walls to the Swap Shop.
A sim year later, and this werewolf has them swimming in money.

Chapter 5. Fast forward through the next yearThis fairy zombie kept going inside the fairy house. I had never seen that before.
Stop by the pool to escape the spring showers, and could Pep be changing her mind about marriage? We can only hope.
Weather permitting, Pep has just been gardening up a storm. Come fall, she maxes gardening and completes two of the three skill challenges. She's also been making nectar in her basement and is up to level six or seven, and has already completed one of those skill challenges. Meanwhile, after maxing athletics and handiness, Gladsten is promoted to astronaut. Now, working only one day a week that leaves him time to search for gems and hopefully fish for death fish when the weather warms back up.
This year, they try throwing a Spooky Day Party of their own. This hotdog meets his maker.
Come winter and there isn't much for them to do. Pep's garden has gone dormant and she's sold off too much produce to the consignment store to make more than a couple batches of nectar. This leaves them with trying to find other ways to occupy their time.
They visit the Winter Festival. They try out ice skating. It doesn't look like either one knows what it is to ice skate.
Snowball fight.
Pep makes a snow angel.
Gladsten tries out snowboarding.
Time for some hot chocolate to warm the insides.
Between the gems, and Gladsten's hefty astronaut holiday bonus, they are able to landscape their house. Pep tries out the new fire pit.
Laying on the snow, the vampire gnome looking like she is flying.
The couple throws a Gift Giving Party on Snowflake Day. Pep calls Gladsten under the mistletoe.
The guests circle around the gifts.
Pep gets a stereo.
Gladsten gets a video game system and a painting.
Now, it's just wasting time until the snow melts and Pep can get back to her garden. She reads a book.
They build an igloo.
They build snowmen.
Pep gets caught up in the holiday spirit.
Lastly, here is their house after landscaping. The inside could still use more furnishing, not that they can't afford it.
