If I had more time to develop, I would have lowered the cap or added more ways to make the money faster. If you level up your pizza skills at the school 3-4 times (unlocks after Objective 7 or so), it gets much easier to reach.
I really don't want to spoil the ending for others (waiting on some more of my friends to play it!), but I will come back here and make another comment in a couple days :) Promise!
Thank you for playing <3
