I thought sims took 10% of household funds when moving out?

I've played The Sims 2 for along time... Got all the expansion packs and some of the stuff packs. I feel really stupid for asking this now... But I thought I read that if a sim moved out of their Parents house they took 10% of the family funds? I had over a million on my sim when I thought I would branch out the family and move out a sim... But instead of starting with $100,000 they had $20,00. As you can see this is the first time I've ever moved a sim out.

I do believe thats the default.  Thats the only amount my sims have ever gotten upon moving out.

you only take money with you if you are invited to move into another sim's home.  If you find your only place, you get $20,000.

When Sims move out of a house in University neighbourhoods or when graduating, they take 1/how-ever-many-people-live-there of the funds.  So if there are 4, 1/4; if there are 5, then 1/5, etc.

Generally §20 000 is the cap I have seen on "created" families and those moved in by "combining households"; the exiting sim will take with him/her 10% OR §20 000, whichever is lower.

I use Monique's banking computer and ATM machine so that when my sims move they have what I want them to have and not what some cubicle dweller thinks they should have.

Ah thanks! I feel stupid. But this is my first time moving people out from the houses they live in with familys. Well I do use University, maybe thats why I got confused? (When leaving there I most of the time have a house of 3 and over $100,000) As for Monique's computer I use it alot I think it's my favorite hacked object but I didn't want to use it this time since the banking system can some what be seen as a cheat...
