You're right. They had other options. I wasn't saying she was right, but this was the fastest way to get the most money now, when they need it.

Plus, setting up a firm is not gonna be as easy as it sounds. Angel didn't have 500 teenage slayers to support. And Xander is on board with the robbery thing, maybe he couldn't set up a construction firm. Besides, they have the government after them. There was no time to make a living. Again, Buffy was desperate, the fact she was upset about it in issue 11 shows how she hated that she had to do it, hated that she set a bad example to all her slayers.
