I would recommend holding off on trading for gems and hoard all your keys. Seems like this game really like to use those resources for quest events. I currently have a over 6k pearls and rings stored up along with $6bil. Since I've maxed out the admin with empty space on my island, I have a feeling the next upgrade will incorporate expanding workers. Upgrading the bridge for more land seems pointless since you can't hire enough workers to fill the space.

To stock up on resources, I have maxed out building the cottages, ice cream shops, gift stores and hot dog stands all on the 2nd half of the island. This will also help with the repair award and gaining XP quickly. Make sure to put a small sapphire on as many of those buildings.
