How to survive with no furniture

I dispensed with Jack's excess money by making him a partner at Hogan's.  It seemed appropriate as it's a beach diner in a boat and Jack lives next door and is an angler.  He can supply them with fish.  Also, he never has to pick up the money once it comes available, or can at least wait until it's negligible to his finances.

With the remaining money, I was able to build this home for him.  It's meant to look like a beached boat :) and doesn't have any furniture.  It doesn't even have wall or floor coverings on the inside!

With 67 simoleons to his name, I sent Jack out to fulfill his wish of becoming a firefighter.  Not sure how it fits with his traits, but he wanted it, so he's got it.  I made him do some weight lifting to get ahead on his skills, but I didn't let him learn the athletic skill.  I figured he'd get a wish for it later, and I was right.  I let him shower at the fire station since he doesn't own one yet.

Afterward, he wanted to go fishing.  We tried fishing in the ocean, but he couldn't catch anything.  We headed over to a pond and he had a bit more luck.  Still, he made a pretty picture fishing in the ocean.

It was evening by the time Jack finished fishing and he was practically starving.  He doesn't own anything to eat and I don't think raw minnow would cut it, so I let him mooch off of the fire station again.

Two houses down there was a nice house with a fancy car outside... and evil Jack had some itchy fingers.  With the updated Legacy rules, he can sell what he steals, so Jack was suddenly almost 3,000 simoleons richer.

I used all except 300 simoleons to furnish his home according to his wishes.  He wanted a refrigerator, stove and bed, and I finished it off with some floor and wall coverings and a light so that he wouldn't whine at me.  The stove and fridge are victorian skins of the cheapest appliances, so they're not great quality, but I splurged a bit on the bed.  It's not the best he could get, but it's good quality and a nice bed is a good investment for a sim.  It makes everything else easier to do since they get more rest for their time.

At the end of the day, Jack's better off than when he started.  I don't think he's doing too bad so far.  I doubt I'll make my regular updates as in depth as this, one post dedicated to one day, but I've found that it's addictive to take pictures of all the cute little things he does.  I already had to veto using the picture of him riding around in a taxi.  He's just so cute in his little hat!  *laughs*

I almost forgot to add...
