Problems making money

side query why is amber so expensive? you get more from amber that silver? go figure.

It's kind of offtopic, but silver is much more abundant(and therefore cheaper) than most people think. And it's also much easier to extract in mass quantities comparied to amber, especially with low tech.

I just noticed this...I'm having problems making money too. But how do you end up with -80000? I thought the game didn't let you run deficits?

It's very, very easy to run deficits if you build an army bigger than you can afford. When the Black Death hits and your taxpayers all die (as well as your trading partners), you can easily end up with a huge hole in your bank account.
