"What is with this misconception that each profitable item is only paying for itself?"

Its not about "profit" but about rate of return on investment. When you make an investment (like buying a belted calf) its about how long it takes for the money you earn from that specific item to equal the amont you paid for it. You paid a million coins for it. Yes, you can make a million coins in less than 4 days, but if you never bought the cow to begin with, you'd have a million more.

But I agree, its fake money, its easy to earn back quickly. Having 100,000,000 in the bank gets you nothing in this game. Now maybe if there was earned interest... hmm... there's an idea Zynga.
