Flash Game Simulates Living on $9/hr.
I don't know what kind of crappy restaurant they're modeling in this game, but you can make much better money at most places waiting tables than what they are claiming.<p>Also, I like how every decision, no matter if its a good one or not ends up with a "Surprise! You made a good choice that should be free in real life, but we're going to charge you an arbitrary cost anyway!"<p>When I lived on less than this, I sure don't remember these oddball things. And obviously cheaper choices, living further out, are still discusses like they are penalties, "but you still have to pay for gas!" Duh, but it's still a ton cheaper.<p>Opting in to Health Insurance = you don't get sick, but opting out and I got sick twice.<p>How about this one? "Two bills are due today. What do you want to do?"<p>1) Pay mobile phone bill<p>2) Pay car insurance<p>3) Pay both<p>4) Ask a friend<p>where's my #5? Don't pay either? Also..why the hell do I have a mobile phone and a car? I don't remember that being a choice. I'd rather not have a phone and ride the bus.<p>ack...ridiculous.<p>Oh, and $843 left at the end of the month.
