DPC has said that the money systems in the game are just game mechanics and don't have any bearing on the real world. For instance, if $$$ is $500, then when you bought lunch for Maya it cost you $167 to feed her at the little bistro, same as what it would cost you when you offered to buy Bella's lunch at the shitty school cafeteria. Those girls must have a hell of an appetite. If you fail the mansion game Rusty sells his very nice sports car to cover the cost of windows that are only $65. MC having $5000 in game money probably translates to something like $50,000 US in real world money for it to be a relatable amount, something that is a lot of money for him and which can make a lot of difference though not "Jill Royce mad money" level, but really it's just a plot point with no real relationship to money in the world you and I live in.The gameplay elements use a simplified financial system, but it looks like the $5,000 is real. For example, Neil MC says it's not that much money, and then MC, if he had a threesome with Riona and Quinn said he had to put $500 of it into his student loan account, adding that he thought he was a dick at the time.
That is, game has several financial systems:
1. Directly MCs pocket money with a maximum $10
2. Another system for mansion renovation and party planning.
3. And real money.
