Flash Game Simulates Living on $9/hr.
I find that I live a much more active life in this game than I ever have in real life.  Back when I was making $9/hr, I can't remember a single week where my dog died, I got injured at work, the neighbor kid broke my window, I decided to see a therapist and one of my co-workers came down with a terminal condition.<p>I only made it to day 13, but already I've spent more in that game than I did in real life over the last month.  I realize it's trying to make a point, but all it's really doing is making me suspect that it's fibbing a bit.  More realism might turn out to be more convincing.
