Do you have a back-up financial plan?

You're unemployed.
You've lost your house.
You're a single parent.
You're down to your last $1000.
Can you make it through the month?

I found this an interesting stimulation of what living on a low income is like. Made me really think about my financial situation.

On my first run, I made it to day 23 and then my mother needed $100 for medication, which made me run out of money. How many days can you last?

I'm a pretty moral person, so if I "broke something" or had family issues, I paid for them. I did a run where I had no morals and tried to make money and ended with $1400. As the situations are randomed, but the consequences are the same, the simulation is too predictable.

Dang I lost like 3 times on the 29th day, then I survived on my 4th try with $215 but I had to suffer the dental problem on that run.
Many thanks to Xiao, jhoijhoi, TinyStar, Tsuki, and WOMBO for the sigs!

it is always surprising to hear from people that they really have little to no savings or that they don't have a backup plan. i know of people making 40-60k dollars per year that have little to no savings (insane spending). i know people who play LoL who buy **** tons of skins but when they get laid off they can't afford rent. once you start living as a fully grown adult aka 99% independent of your parents you need to have backup plans...savings...and watch your spending carefully or if you are lucky your parents will be welcoming you back...if you are not lucky toshabi will be grinding you up in a meat grinder to feed to the starving people of the world.

Thanks to jhoijhoi for my signature!
