Actually, your cities don´t lose you money. The army and family member costs are distributed among all cities according to the city´s population size - a large city is alotted a larger amout of upkeep costs than a small one, therefore it looks like bigger cities are losing money. In truth they are not. All income goes into one big pool and from it expenses are covered, as shown on the financial overview screen. To see what the city earns look up the settlement details and add up all figures in the income line, that´s what´s important.

Actually, sorry for the hijack.
