Renzoku Kira- Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I made it to day 23 with 531 dollars before it froze on me, and on my second try made it to the end with 647 dollars left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I made it through the month but WHAT THE HELL! First of all, the game assumes you're an idiot. Second, first it said my child was "gifted," then I had to hire a tutor or else he would fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Chess Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Too hard. You must be smart to play. I got to day 13 XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzoku Kira- Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I made my mom and sister play it. Mom made it with 69 dollars sister made it with 267. I CRUSHED THEM ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to day 13 XD [/quote] As Kizzi said, it's not a game. It's not even hard. If you pay attention to why it's done and what it represents, it teaches you how bad poverty really is. And how it's going to be for some of us soon. Less of a game, more of a learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Made it to the end with 39 dollars left on my first try. It's crazy that you might have to sacrifice everything just to be able to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Got to the end with $261 dollars remaining. Was being silly in the last week as well, letting my kid join the football team and paying for his kit, paying to have a check up, paying to have the dog put down, overpaying on the rent. Got away with not being caught on the untaxed car though so I was lucky, meh. Debt is a vicious circle, but if you're prepared to dig in and work hard, and not be an idiot, you shouldn't get in it's clutches to start with. I didn't do this perfectly and I got lucky, but I was given options that put me in a situation of unneccessary costs in the first place (such as why would I have a dog when I'm poor anyway). Really informative game, recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Why not, I'll pay $15 for a meaningless birthday present. ._. I survived with $36 bucks left. Cutting it kinda close. ;D Not to mention my car was uninsured and pretty much about to be taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Î’yakuya Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Stupid poverty game. I earned $132 at the end of the month. Well at least it was helpful and it will be in the future probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The thing about this game is that it assumes you screwed up majorly prior to this situation. IE: Don't use credit cards or take out student loans. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
