Headscratchers / Game of Life

• Why are getting married and buying a house mandatory events?
• When other players land on spaces matching your career, why does all the money they pay automatically go to you?
• This is especially egregious if you're the accountant; any time someone has to pay their taxes, all their tax money goes directly to you.
• If you land on a space where you must pay the player with the indicated career symbol, and you are that player, then you don't pay anything. It's bizarre to say the least.
• If you are the accountant, you don't pay taxes. Ever.
