you should be able to buy more stuff like certain bubbles or spices that you need to make stuff e.g. eggs but don't have the skill for. it would be cheaper to make them but if you don't want to learn the skills you don't have to.
I was worried about that too, Lolz, but then I read stoot's post in the anti-social thread, and realized that the answer is: wait for the other 90-95% of the content to be developed and implemented. Can't wait! :)
One current skill takes 2+ months to learn. The 2 things I keep reminding are pretend thousands are playing at once when looking at the future and the 90-95% thing.
