I disagree. I have never spent money playing this game. It's only with sheer determination that I always complete events. Yes, this was the most difficult one (for me) to date. You just have to plan from the beginning what you need to do in advance and ensure to scan the newspapers and your neighbours' shops. I completed this event doing just that and I also managed to help others as well. I was going to give up when I was on goal 6 for days but then decided to stick it out. And it paid off for me.
My advice for future events is....plan and stick to it. I think it also helps, if you start the event as soon as it becomes available.
All I'm saying is that it is definitely possible to complete events without spending real money and / or gems.
