Great to see a fellow lover of having lots of virtual kids. Like you I set the child support payments to 300 (it's a nice number) but nothing else. And in my experience, starting with 20k in hand plays differently than with 45k. Chiefly because you go into debt much faster and you can run into more hiccups in hiring and accumulating fame. Which necessitates a different play style.
In fact my current game, I deliberately set my starting cash in hand to just 10k and yeah. It plays very differently and I enjoy the challenge.
My advice of cutting costs only applies when you are already in a deep hole. No one ever gets out of a hole by digging deeper. You stop digging and start working on adding more dirt until you get out. However, if you were never in the hole in the first place or it wasn't that deep then yeah you're correct.
Spend money to get more money. Build slowly and train everyone so that they grow as you grow. That's the ideal way.
Poaching however never works or I have yet to crack the code on how to steal someone's staff away.

There's probably hidden opinions that you're not addressing or you're not giving them enough attention, especially the sexual kind. I have had no trouble hiring unemployed college dropouts or college kids and paying them well below market rate. Of course I spend a few days 'prepping' their opinions so that they would even entertain the job request but nothing too hard. Just time consuming.Also the hiring of college kids who aren't working, changing their opinion to like/love working doesn't seem to work, or you manage to change their opinion, won't interview with you then next minute work for someone else. Drives me nuts.
