As you say, you don't need any money at all to progress in the story. That's why nobody thinks it's a problem for now. But when your competitiveness will depend on how much stat you will have pumped, how good is your equipment (chain great pachinko), of course the girls, their affection (increased by the chain great pachinko, again) and their income will matter greatly.

You can do with 6 girls, but you will perform tremandously better with the 6 others (especially since they have greater income than the story ones)
