Tips
After a couple runs you will get familiar with the keywords and routines of the monkeys, so it is a good idea to take the three jobs on the first day and maybe the second and third, since it will let you buy cameras quickly.
You should take advantage of food sales, especially on fruit and yogurt. Once you get one fill your fridge with them so you can get fast food in case you need a lot of hunger points and always have a health source available.
There are some cameras that need a certain amount of days to be completed (such as the spaceship or the recording studio) so saving before you level up and then bulk buy all the cameras available is a good strategy (not for beginners, just enjoy the chaos the first runs ;))
You will feel dizzy and eventually faint if you lack sleep, possibly missing important moments, so make sure to uave some coffee around and nap every time you have some time even if it is just an hour or two.
After a couple runs you will likely not struggle with money and food/sleep/health.
