The game isn't as hard as people are acting. Its balanced around items. Granted some items like clothing need better balancing, but game is fully playable even on hard mode. Here's how I did it. First start hard mode and buy salazzle. sort by any and profit and assign her to whoever she can be assigned to until you get 1000$. This takes a bit but usually doesn't fail. If you do fail try again. Buy the bracelet and go to storage, right click and apply to salazzle. now if you go to dorm you'll see salazzles base service price jumps from 12 to like 30 I think. Anyways rince and repeat until you get to 5000$ and buy lace stockings, she should be able to equip them at this point. Now you can keep buying things that increase base service price and raise her profits. At 25 obedience you can buy the collar with leash which will increase her obedience by 30 giving her enough to equip most things in the store, asside from aforementioned unbalanced outfits. The satisfier will prevent her from fapping so much, and treadmill will increase her stanima. From here you can increase her skills with books, buy 100 of each of the 3 cheap books (not including the one thats 5000$) and apply them. This will bring almost all her skills to prodigy. The game's a little grindy but I don't consider it hard. I still haven't figured out max arousal so you can use arena. best I can manage is using chasity belt to prevent her from both fapping and intercourse which raises her arousal past its limit but thats It. anyways hope this longwinded half baked tutorial helps someone.
