So I remember playing SimCity when I was younger but I don't remember losing so much money so fast. I have my city built up to what I think it should be but I keep losing tons and tons of money. I have residental industrial and commercial areas. Everything is powered and watered. I have a police station a fire station and a hospital. I just need to know what to do to make sure I am not losing so much money. Help please.

Which version of the game are you talking about? In SimCity 2000 (the only one I'm familiar with) there is a budget page (you can see it by clicking on the dollar sign near the bottom of the toolbar), check that out to see where your money is going. You likely need to raise taxes, cut funding, or modify your city ordinances. I always pause the game before doing this so I can study the budget at leisure. Also check the demand bars on the toolbar too, if they are all very high then you can definitely raise taxes a lot. Anyway, I don't want to go into too much detail yet in case you're not even talking about the same game, but if you have any further questions, please just ask :).
