You mean in game money or real money?. It's not necessary to use real money to play the game. I love this game because it doesn't have those microtransactions crap that you have to buy to win the game.
If you mean in game gold/elixir/dark elixir, this is why the game is for.. You build a base, cover them with defense, upgrade them to prevent people stealing your money. Not every attacker is good enough to steal all your resources if your base is well build. If you afraid of people stealing your money why would you want to play multiplayer game though. Personal opinion ok

Nope this game is design to sux your money dry method. So maybe i do not know or there more you can share.
When u upgrade your building to a level the money cost more and more. Am fine with that.
But ppl can attack to steal your money,
So as u explained the attention is to get attacked until you cant stand anymore then you spend money to upgrade.
Get it? So they uses real money to buy money so the more real money you spend you got more money to upgrade and even complete the upgrade faster?
So i am trying understand issit like yourself and other they like to have that fun? because i played quite far but day and night only keep upgrading. Either you pay real money or wait to get attacked.
