So, rather than take the punishment as a reason to plan differently the player lets it ride until he's broken the bank. I see this from my players so often it infuriates me. In fact, I'm trying to avoid letting chance have such a broad effect in Contract Work so that you HAVE to plan and manage if you want to survive.
