There's a fairly common argument in western culture that many poor people are poor because they're bad money managers, spend too much money on things they don't need, lack ambition etc.
That's probably true for a fairly large number of people, in America consumerism is rampant and millions of people have very poor spending habits. However, for those of you who feel that honest work and thrifty spending are enough to elevate most people out of the shit hole, I'm curious to see how well you guys can play this game.
Go through it and, if you make it all the way across the month, share your results. Try to screen-cap your results or share it through the coding, otherwise everyone else will think you're a lying sack of shit.
Good luck!

I had to opt out of health insurance, let my shit-tier friend move in so I could get some extra cash, not go to the free concert, help my kid with their math homework, buy them cheap, shitty shoes, bought a ton of unhealthy cheap food, ignored the rotting tooth, ignored my crippling depression and didn't pay my car note.
And I also got fired two weeks in because my manager overheard me talking to co-workers about starting a union.

Unrealistic game; lacks 'suicide' option. 4/10 would not play again.
Seriously though, I had 395$ by day 30(thanks to some morally questionable decisions I've made), but went bankrupt because I decided to pay 400$ to get my tooth fixed.

Henry Pym's a lying sack of shit, FA completely neglected his kid, didn't do anything fun, didn't treat any of his illnesses, and paid almost none of his bills.
You're both fired.

Lol, I ran out of money when I decided to treat my pet's sickness. Worth it

A bit OT, but has anyone here played "Papers, Please?" Sort of a similar setup, only you're in some kind of totalitarian state and the mechanics involve actually sorting through papers and passports and such.

Cute game, but Jaden is right, it's ridiculous that you'd encounter so many horrible problems within the span of a month. In a month my dog got sick/nearly died, I had chest pains, got a bogus ticket, got into a car accident and got in trouble with my landlord for owning a pet.
Also a lot of the problems don't give adequate options. One says you want to exercise regularly, and you have to either join a gym or get a running buddy. Why can't I just start taking nightly walks with my dog by myself?
Game's interesting and makes a decent point, but too flawed to be anything but a novelty.
