Can you really live off of $1000 dollars? I only got up to 13 days in.
>>344805202
>implying i care about the rest of humanity
>First question implies I have a child
wew
>>344805467
>implyong its about that
No, the game is about you trying to survive only on $1000 dollars.
>Apply for food stamps
>You're approved! They don't start until next month though!
Why even ask?
>The Affordable Care Act requires you get health insurance. The good news? Your child is covered by the state. The bad? You aren’t.
Clicked out right there. I don't have a fucking child
>tons of questions ask to pay for kid's crap
>answer no to all of them since I don't have a kid
>breeze through to the end of the month
where's the option to make my kid get a job that lazy fucking slacker
i neglected the kid in most of the questions and beat the game with $67 to spare. it assumed i don't owe my vehicle though, which i do, so my car got "reposessed because i chose to ignore a phone call which was a creditor asking for a car payment, which caused me to lose my job.

>Implying I have a child

Do that already, Usually spend about 43 dollars a month.
>>344805202
>Hey! You don't have dental insurance.
You can't limit my choices to force me to lose, then expect me to appreciate your simulation.
>Implying I'll have a child before getting to a stable point in my life
>Kid gets bullied for getting free lunches
Are we sure about this? I remember a lot of kids being envious of free lunches in school. Also the grocery section was garbage with no coupons.
>>344805876
it makes vast generalizations, why would I drive a car if there are cheaper alternatives etc.
I've gone months on end paying nothing but rent, food and utilities. This game is full of arbitrary day to day "expenses"
I gave my kid everything he needed besides extra lunch money, and got myself into a compsci program and still had 42 left at the end. Fuck cars though, glad I don't live in America.
>have a kid without a mother
>bills that i didn't have any way of knowing before planning for them

fuck you too
Yeah, it's flawed in thinking I have a child and a pet.I do have a dog though. God, I would do anything for him.

>game literally makes shit up to throw at you when you prove you aren't retarded
No.
I literally deal with the sort of shitters this game is supposed to be about every day and the only reason they can't get through life is because most of them are fucking retarded, or view the social """status""" they have with their ghetto peers as more important than providing for their children.
There is a gulf in how "normal" people and most of the people in the ghetto live. The way they view success and failure. The way they respond to the same. What they aspire to. What their goals are. The way they bring down people that try to reach beyond what they started with. Whatever redeeming qualities they may have as humans are often overshadowed by their total inability to deal with anything other than the present. They do not plan for the future, they do not learn from past mistakes. They remain children their entire lives. They get their bennies once a month (or more often), go crazy, and are broke for the other 29 days of the year. They do not try to better their own lives or situation and aren't really even interested in doing it.
Everything down to the way these people approach civic responsibility (they don't) and even the way they grieve or worship is different from how civilized people act. Ever been to a gang funeral? All cultures and even subcultures celebrate differently, but this shit is bizarre. Even when one of their own kills one of them, they don't focus on finding a middle ground, or finding justice, or looking at how to improve their own station in life to move beyond this. They will twist and turn everything around and no matter what never move to improve anything. They are happy being pathetic, or at least not mad or motivated enough to move beyond it. And this in spite of all the social programs, all the free shit, all the EVERYTHING they have to offer them incentive to be a productive member of society. "Trying" is not cool, it does not elevate their status. They will live in crackhouses just so they stay true to their shit culture.
You have to be a strung out idiot or a liuteral retard to be poor and on the streets in the US

This. I was poor as dirt growing up (Single mother, her only job was a medical assistant and it had us below the poverty line because we lived in NYC) but we were never homeless or hungry because of those bennys basically anyone can get in NY.

>>344806775
seriously, what
the laundromat near me, though I've never used it personally, costs a whopping 75c for the basic washers, 50c for a dryer, and only 1.50 for the heavy tumbler
how much fucking laundry do they think you have
>>344806512
Pretty sure if you're single mom and have children you can apply for aid from the state or government where the more children you have the more money you get.
>>344806553
You forgot to mention how they think everyone outside their ghetto owes them something. The government, businesses, random strangers, it doesn't matter.
>people playing like they're single
the website is bullshit but you apes are even dumber for trying to play as something you're not
>>344806964
Why would I have a kid if I can't support said kid? All this "game" does is convince me that poor people are poor because they're stupid.
>>344806897
that's not my point
If I have a kid and a pet and I'm poor I should just off myself to save everyone a whole lot of bother and heroin sounds like a nice way to go
>>344805202
Apparently I can't, because I get a blank page in firefox with Flash disabled.
Wow I coasted to the end of the month pretty easily. Just become a professional nignog.
>I can't support kids

>pet is sick
>no option to try to find it a better home
>OH B-B-B-BUT RENT'S DUE TOMORROW
So I'll just find a lawyer willing to let me sue for the landlord not fixing the plumbing and now I have EBT so I can blow my dosh on beer, newports, and scratchoffs.

Bullshit, my car of the past 7 years was cheaper then that and it only caught fire one.
>you have a kid
>you have to travel by car
This is so absolutely retarded. I don't have a kid and I wouldn't take a car when there are cheaper alternative. Shit, if you have a car, why not fucking sell it?
I'm pretty sure I played this game years ago.
>>344805202
Made it through on my first try.

>Even if you pick city, it still gives you questions with car problems and costs
Also
>have a kid
If anything this test just makes me hate poor people even more for being fucking idiots. I'm not a wealthy person by any means but at least I'm not retarded enough to make such stupid life choices
This thing is retarded. Why would I get back pains after lifting things for a couple days? Even my fatass can do that. I don't have a pet, and I don't have children... I don't want them BECAUSE they cost more money than I want to spend on them. Is this a simulator for dealing with retarded decisions people make without thinking it though?
>>344807378

I'm a probation officer. You're right about a lot of them. I deal with a lot of broken families, crackheads, and inner city trash. I love my job. I feel like I make a difference. Not always, but sometimes. I even like some of the offenders I work with. But man, the difference in how they think and act is absurd. It really is like dealing with another species rather than what I recognize as a human being sometimes.
>>344806553
To carry on further, here is what you can do if you are poor street trash in US.
> Apply for food stamps (you can get benefits almost immediately)
> Go to a fucking temp agency and get a $9/hr job
> Go to the hospital for medical needs (you're not going to pay anyway, hospital will eventually just write it off, and you don't have credit history to care about)
> Apply at area housing authorities (If you don't have a felony, they will find a good placement for you, and fast)
> Go to the soup kitchen (Seriously, aside from food, they have people offering jobs, information, worship services, etc which all can help the poor)
> Go to the unemployment office (Get your benefits started)
> Go to the health department or your local mental healthcare facility (The government pays THEM for you to be there, most common mental health meds are practically or literally free with demonstrated need)
> Ride a fucking bus. I live in a rural ass county and even when we have a public transport system. You call them ahead of time, they pick you up, and with demonstrated need they are FREE.
> Try to stop smoking
Do not:
> Live in a motel
> eat out constantly
> buy expensive and ridiculous clothing
> buy a smartphone
> avoid working at any cost because it might mess up your benefits
> use drugs of any sort (Because you can't fucking afford them)
> Have kids
> Have more kids
> Drive a car without a license
People pretend the US has shit public health or whatever but the support system is great. You just have to fucking use it.
Ended the month with $189, I'm a neet so I guess I have some experience?

>pay 7k when you only have $200

Damn, this shit is lame. Reminds me of Depression Quest.
>>344807642
>Being poor and having a pet in the first place
????
Got to the end with about 500 to spare. I've been in this situation in real life, and they act like the concessions you need to make to survive are horrible. It's absolutely retarded. The child thing is bullshit too. The pet thing too, where's my option to put it down myself? The leak in the sink required me to buy tools? Why can't I borrow some from a neighbor? If this were real life I'd have breezed through it and had enough to make rent next month plus an additional $250 to make the car payment. Then I'd have called the dealership to get a payment plan of some sort hashed out. Fuck this game and fuck the creators for trying to guilt 10 bucks out of me.
I ended the month with like $600 and that's with wasting money. You can just put everything off and don't pay, I'm broke as fuck IRL and that's what I do.
>>344807719
you can give the pet to a friend

This so much.
Every single non monthly bill happens to be on that month.
You have 0 savings for some reason? Have no qualifications?
I'm sorry but if you have a kid but you are a fucking neanderthal it's your own damn fault.
That was easy as fuck. Winning the lottery is OP.

i'm the first world so this doesn't really work here.
my 100m2 place costs me around 550 € including internet and a few other comforts and if I skip on all-organic food and snacks I only need around 100 € a month for groceries.
I also have two cats.

> The total is $10,500.
> Fortunately, the government will pay it for you, and you gained $200 from robbing a white guy playing Pokemon Go.
>Car gets repossessed
>Few days later, find out car is not street legal and have option to pay to fix
That doesn't even make sense! I don't have a car anymore! And I get fired for losing the car, yet had the option to take the bus when my gas was siphoned. Poor logic...
>>344808030
Play the lottery, win the lottery. It's pretty simple actually.
As someone who has actually been poor if you're really poor the govt basically pays for everything you need already.
At what point in the pathetic people this game is about's lives is there supposed to be any responsibility on their heads?
I have some sympathy for the unfortunate but outside of the mentally ill or physically disabled anybody can get a shit warehouse job or work their way into something fulltime somewhere, and it doesn't take very much to get by in the American south, which is where this game was made. I mean come on, you get a roommate, rent a fucking trailer, and start at a community college. You average living expenses would be around 5-600 a month each, and you could get government money to cover almost all of that. That's less than 25 hours a week at minimum wage.
>>344807931
You can live for basically free in America as long as you are ok with living a below average lifestyle.
I love how the game freezes and no longer continues when you are winning and proving them wrong that you can survive. The very first question is "Get a Job" or "Exit", That must be where people fail and not click "Get a Job".
I live in rl on less than 1000
last month I paid like 850 total
just stop spending money nigga lol put your wallet down and walk away wtf
>not biking to work to save money and stay fit

It's really surprising just how many people have kids but don't have the means to financial support them. I don't really know what goes through their heads.
> Pay 300+ dollars a month for healthcare
> Have to pay 45 dollars to get checked anyways
> Internet is 60 fucking dollars a month
Wow I wasn't aware surviving in a third world country was this hard
As someone who jumped from shit job to shit job, NETWORK. Make friends, ask your family members about job openings or if they can vouch for you. Got me out of retail and on a decent track to more cash.

seriously, did you guys even bother paying attention to the game
I hate how the "game" assumes you are a single parent with a kid, sick pet, poor mouth hygiene, unpaid car bills, shady landlord, and asshole boss.
>tfw not a single black mom tryin a make it in the hood
>>344806631
I will agree with you on most of those programs but not on Section 8.
Section 8 is usually only open 1 day of the year to apply and even then there is a waiting list.
I know people who have been on that waiting list for over 5 years.
I work a minimum wage job (while going to college) and while I can pay my living expenses it still leaves for very little savings.
The cheapest one bed apartments around where I live around 850USD a month and it's not like there are high paying jobs available here.
Still I keep a good budget so I can live with 850 rent then 50USD electricity and 40USD internet with 15USD going to the phone bill and another 130USD to food.
I have a car but insurance is only 267USD a year and if anything happens I can take the bus to college.
Is this shit supposed to be hard? They give you a shit ton of money right off the bat.
I lived out of my car after my parents decided 21 was to old to be still living with them and lived off half of that.
Course I wasn't a dumbass and didn't have a kid before I could afford it, or buy a new car, or have a credit card, or a cell phone. Also I lived off ramen and eggs and the occasional "spoiled" burger from work.
>>344808370
Kids do actually walk to school you know, especially when you live in the middle of the city
>>344807549

This is leftist trash being really try-hard about pushing the homeless/unemployment agenda, and it's fucking stupid because you start off with a job.

uh the energy it takes to fuel your muscles must be made up by eating food. The amount of food you need plus the extra time it takes to get to work in productivity cost, roughly equates to the price of gas - how is this not blatantly obvious or are you just a retard?
>>344805202
That's fucking bullshit.
Refuse to accept a pay cut? Oh looks like they cut your hours! Not like you could start job hunting again or anything.
Hurt on the job and applying for workers comp? Lol they just laugh at you. OSHA don't real.
Landlord breaks the law and threatens to evict you? Guess you better pay up, no other option other than being homeless
Jesus fuck I make around as much as this website has you making and honestly while it's not fun it isn't that fucking bad. Yeah, companies need to stop turning full time positions into part time work then claiming it's because they're "jobs for teenagers" despite hiring almost exclusively people 20 and up, but this is just dumb.

Public transport differs from area to area. I remember when I lived in the DFW metroplex they didn't have shit, probably isn't any different now. Otherwise, yeah.

Fucking unrealistic, I had a broken toilet for half a year once and just squat and shit behind the alley dumpster. This game thinks people who lives in squalor is stupid and pays for things. No, we're lazy and we don't do shit and ignore bills and any responsibility.

I made it and helped my kid with all his school stuff.
>>344808589
Guess I need to git gud then.
This game is bullshit because it forces you to already have shit like a CHILD, a car, a fucking house, cell phone etc. It should let you answer questions from the start. If you made poor financial decisions in the beginning, EG a 7900 credit card expense wtf? you have to live with the concequenses.

Up in Canada our big bad evil company will literally give you 10$ a month internet with no data cap on a 5mbps down connection if you're poor enough, its retarded.
>>344808931
Literally every company I've ever worked for would fire me for NOT talking to the guy in the parking lot. It makes them seem "local" or something. I've always been told to at the very least greet every single person who passes by me.
>>344808919
Seriously, spaghetti costs like three bucks in this game. Spaghetti is one dollar in Commiefornia, where everything's expensive, I can only imagine how cheap it would be at a place where rent is $600 or whatever it is in this game.

We wouldn't have this problem if we legalize honor killings and get rid of social security(It's a fucking ponzi scheme). There should be no problem killing off the lazy, the poor, the "disabled"(The fakers who get on welfare due to some retarded medical defect such as depression or PTSD), the old, immigrants(You know those shitters don't assimilate into American culture), and criminals.
With honor killings these parasites will at least get a quick and painless death and in some instances a war hero's burial.
>>344809027
It does but it starts a shitstorm.
>oy vey goy you are depressed
>you can only get pills or talk to therapist
just talk to fucking friends
>>344809117
The dumb part is it literally gives your the option to cover it with plastic for $5, but if you try to contest it, you can't even fall back on that and the game forces you to pay the full amount.
>paying for damages out of pocket
>when I have car insurance
Did I sign with Shekelberg and Goldstein or something?
propaganda setting you up to lose
guys, the point isntt beating the game , its to make people aware of the shit other people have to go through, yeah its bullshit on multiple angles but thats the point (im trying to use reason on 4chan,sigh)

Yeah that food section was bonkers. A 4 pack of ramen costs $1 but I can buy a fucking bushel of apples for $40?
Like do the people who made this eat exclusively at restaurants or something?
>>344809056
Right? I was looking for rice and dried beans. Cheap and filling...
This must be based on the dumbest person who makes all the worst decisions.
>>344805202
easily got through 30 days first try
>eating anything but beans
plebs
>>344805202
Nice try, shill. It's virtually impossible not to make it with over $1200 at the end of the month, even with the new version which is significantly harder than the original.

They also give you no indication of how long $3 of spaghetti would last you. Shit, it's like a buck for the noodles and a buck for a can of sauce, and that's enough for like 10 meals, so 3 bucks is like 5 days of spaghetti.

Unless you live on starvation rations, the extra amount you must eat in order to live and ride a bicycle at the same time isn't even worth mentioning. There's also no need for a productivity cost since you can just wake up and set off for work earlier than a car - again, unless you're working from dawn to dusk non-stop. Your comparison to the price of gas and other related running costs for a car is retarded and you should feel bad.

Give me a fucking break. Walk it out fag, especially if you need exercise by the end of the month.
>apparently have a mother
>can never ask her for shit like storing stuff or washing clothes
>always assume I'll spoil the little shit
>>344809056
You don't even have to do that. It's cheap as fuck to eat healthy. Just takes more time because you have to actually make the food.
>>344809487
No doubt made by middle class white folk who only shop at whole foods.
>>344809410
I know this is probably b8 but
It takes one of the literal worsts situations ever to try and make it sound like the average. It's akin to saying "Oh hey guys you should feel REAL bad about teachers because once one of them fell down a set of stairs and got trampled!" when your average teacher might get, what, a fucking papercut over the course of the year?
Made it through with 35 bucks to spare, although I did make some enemies within my family. (Skipped the Memorial and said no to my Mom's medication because I couldn't afford it)

And it's hilarious because when I had my toilet broken I refused to pay rent for 3 of the months because I can withhold rent and eviction takes forever for them especially when they don't fix my toilet.

Yeah, you have to go outside to see people.
got fucked on literally the last day.
the problem is that every expense is not planned in advance. granted i don't exactly keep track of my expenses but i'm still in college and living with my parents, and live on relatively bare essentials. but i would be forced out of necessity to start balancing my budget when it comes time to get out of my mother's house.

In what fucking world does it take 5 times longer to get to work than by car? Let me take the bike for fucks sake. If I take the car in the first place, 5 times longer for a bus ride will end up with a 2 1/2 hour ride. I commuted almost 100km in half the time. Fucking bullshit.

To be fair, it takes 20 minutes to get to my job by car but 2 hours by bus due to waiting for stop overs and walking to the stop
Made it through the month ezpz, half of this is bullshit for "middle class" to feel bad about those less fortunate. I actually grew up poor as fuck and learned to never question my parents about fucking lunch money or shit. I started working as delievery boy @ age of 14 and had my own income from shit like painting doors etc. since I was probably 12. "Waah your pet is suffering", my friend had to shoot his own dog because they had no money for a vet.

Depends on where you live, my city has shit public transport if you aren't within a mile or two of downtown. Took the bus one day because my car was in the shop and there was only a bus every hour, and since it's the only bus out this far, it hit about 10 other stops before it got to the one I was getting off on. Took me 3-4 times as long as driving.

>You can't limit my choices to force me to lose
That's kind of the point. People are born into limited choices, lose, and then society calls them huge fuckups for not being born in a higher caste.
$1000 per month is swingable, though. I've known dudes who live on about that. They just share a cheap apartment and walk to work. Of course if you get hurt at all, need tooth work, or get sick, you're completely fucked. Insurance good enough to actually use is like $700 per month minimum. If you try to use Insurance cheaper than that, it'll break your ass anyway with a high deductible.

Repetitive motions for 8 hours a day can cause all sorts of problems no matter how strong you are. I lost motion in my thumb when I was in high school because I was flipping a spatula at Wendys all day.
