NOOOOOOOOORRRRRRMMMMMMIIIIIEEES
Seriously why do people even do this. This is why I'm going to fuck off to little diomede, the only place not yet infected with their cancer
>>26141746
you also live on a single income, rent an expensive apartment instead of house-sharing, can't apply for dem programs, and don't use public transportation
I think the game is designed to simulate having a low IQ in order to get the full poorfag experience.
>>26141240
>the "living closer to your job is more expensive" meme
Gay game.
>>26141746
You would be surprised about how much stupid the new generations are
>literally every single person in America is starving to death working minimum wage jobs with terminal cancer having kids and buying iPhones

If you're trying to make a game to emphasize how paycheck to paycheck is hard that's one thing but this is propaganda tier
>Have to buy your child lunch because he's too good for free lunch
>Racked with physical problems for no apparent reason
>Your nigger kid's gotta have those new Jays bruh
>You can't into basic math skills
>You're too retarded to take a look at your car
You can make it if you're not a materialist retard who cranks out kids without prior planning. The only "options" here are ones a retard would face.
Shouldn't have dropped out of school.
>$792 left
>$600 rent
Wow that was fucking difficult...
Why does the fucking game just assume I'm some irresponsible low-income single parent?

Things like this are crocks of shit.

Honestly that seems to be the case with a lot of tumblrtards who won't stop bitching about how oppressed they are and how hard it is to get a job. It seems like they have some horrible accident happen to them every day. Car breaks down, house catches fire, chronically ill, strangers doing horrible shit for no reason, whatever.
Maybe they're just the most unlucky people in the world.
>>26141240
The game is extremely biased (if you didn't already guess) and practically forces bad situations onto you to so you feel bad and donate money.
None of this shit happens so often, also why doesn't the idiot just go on government support? He has a child to look after, not his ego.
>>26142454
BITE ME ASSHATS
>>26142466
>practically forces bad situations onto you to so you feel bad and donate money.
Yeah, and every other dialog box is "SHARE ME!"
I survived a year getting 180 eur a month, at least i'm not in debt but there were problems with money. that being, everything after rent went for food, 100% of it. couldn't save anything because i didn't want to starve, though end of the month was usually bad, ie eating 0-1 meals a day, thank god for cheap ass porridge and potatoes.
>>26142555
i didnt buy alcohol or tobacco, i didnt waste money on iphones or getting a kid what the fuck, i didnt get into debt, i was just studying in uni and making due.
this propaganda piece is fucking retarded garbage that represents the 60 IQ population (I have tested 83 IQ)
>>26142555
The funny thing is the game doesn't penalize you for not buying food.
>>26141240
>PEOPLE HAVE AN EMERGENCY LITERALLY EVERY DAY
fuck this meme
also, the 'dead grandfather funeral' issue was a fucking joke. if i was literally so deep in the black that i couldn't buy a ticket to a funeral i would ask my family to help, and if they didn't then clearly they don't care enough for me to be there so fuck em, i'm not going to his funeral

I grew up poor as shit. Most poor people are their because they make really, really bad decisions. That is because they think it's natural or because their parents did it, sure, but it's still true. This game ignores how 99% of the MC's problems wouldn't exist if they had been more responsible in the first place.

Poor people treat getting pregnant as just a thing that happens, like catching the flu or the batteries in your remote dying. They don't seem to grasp that it's a choice. It's treated as an eventuality.

You guys are retarded if you think pressing no on everything to win the game is the point of this game. It's not.
You're some really thick headed, autists if you think that way
>>26143812
No, I'm just making the right choices.

The grocery part of this game is stupid. Bags of beans and rice will last you a long ass time if you have no money but there isn't even an option for that.
>>26143794

>2nd shift warehouse pays 9/hr or probably around minimum wage where this is
um... no lol, you could just work 3rd shift (many places give up to 15% bonus for third shift works) and places like fedex pay well above minimum wage.
>food options don't include dried beans and rice, the cheapest of the cheap
stopped playing there.
it's like they have no clue what they're doing.
>>26143881
What's the point of this game then? I've lived on minimum wage in an area where the cost of living is high and I could still afford to do things sometimes.
If you make shit wage just don't have children.
Also the whole name brands are important thing. I go to the thrift store for all of my clothing and they are all name brand.
>>26143867
So I guess this is supposed to make up for that by going full social justice?
>>26143561
Played through a month, shit was retarded
Makes you pay full price for health insurance when in reality poorfags get heavily subsidized plans (paid for by punishing those who actually contribute to society with higher premiums/taxes)
You also have a kid by default, because apparently the game doesn't give you an option of making halfway decent life choices (such as not having a kid before you have a good, secure income and stable home)
And according to the game you can't even defend yourself against a landlord trying to raise rent without hiring a lawyer, because apparently poorfags can't even read a lease that clearly states rates are locked for x months.
Despite all this it was still easy to get through the month

>>26141240
This game is broken.
If you go through the month ignoring everything and asking friends for help (lol facebook) then you can end the month with at least a few hundred dollars.
>>26143909
I meant the game doesn't penalize you for not buying groceries
>only options are to buy your kid lunch or have them "go hungry"
>no option to tell them to fucking buck up and eat the free goddamn lunch that we're lucky to be getting
>>26143949
I know and that's why I asked what the point of the game was. You have to have food to survive that's the number 1 thing you need.
>>26141240
I was at enough for rent (900) at the second to last day of the month, then they threw me under the base with a sudden landlord eviction and made me drop half.
>Pls donate 10$

>>26144068
Yeah, if you live off of fast food. Fast food salads are expensive for some reason. If you roll your own salads at home, it's cheap. If you need the extra fat content you can buy a bottle of generic salad dressing for like $2. Or if you aren't a worthless nigger, you can just buy a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of vinegar and just make it yourself for even cheaper.
>>26141240
Obviously it's propaganda but it's retarded propaganda at that. It starts you out in a situation you'd only be in if you're fucking stupid: you've lost your job, house and savings. Why did you try to buy a house without a steady job? Why did you save so little that you've already run out? You have a kid but your spouse doesn't work?
And then the game straight up lies to you. I make $11hr and I pay about $150 a month for Obamacare insurance and this fucking game tells me that this guy raising a kid by himself on $8 an hour doesn't qualify for any insurance that costs less than $250 a month? Bullshit.
>$75 a month cellphone plan

>muh back hurts from lifting 20lbs

>$30 to go to the laundromat
How many fucking loads are we doing, here? A dozen?
>Takes me until the 28th day of the month to figure out I qualify for food stamps

>servers only make 250$ a pay check
It's true unless you're a cute white girl. Men and black women get shafted in tips.

>Why did you try to buy a house without a steady job?
What job is so steady that you have a 0% chance of being laid off? Not everyone can be doctors.
>Why did you save so little that you've already run out?
Valid point when you consider the prospect of burning through your 401k, but then you get to retire with nothing. If you have $20k in your savings, you'll burn through that really quick if you are jobless and have a family.
>You have a kid but your spouse doesn't work?
Parents get divorced, and the ones that do stay married don't always have dual incomes. Daycare is so expensive that it's often not worth it to have both parents working.
>Son I work in a pet store and often spend my entire shift slinging around 50lb bags of dog food. I've been doing it for years and my back is just fine.
How many years? Most of the people I know who do manual labor all day and have done it for 30+ years complain about their backs.

This was hilarious. Why would I take a loan or morgage for a car I couldn't afford?
>Are normies this dumb?
Yes.
Bad decisions make bad outcomes, big shocker.
Wow, that was fucking easy
I even bought my kid ice cream and presents
Made it on my second try, first try I ran out of money on day 29.
Overall I'd say this thing is fairly unrealistic. I'm not sure how you'd end up being a single parent who is unemployed and NOT have the government be holding your ass up, at least in America where I'm assuming this game takes place.

When I took a college course I actually got in an argument with my teacher over this.
She made a list JUST like this one.
I told her Virgin mobile minimum plan offers 35$ a month for unlimited text,300minutes and 2gb of data.
I also told her that I didn't need to buy a new 14,000-20,000 car. And that on sight housing would do better with a bike. I also said that if she really wanted a car, a nice honda civic for like 7-10k Would last her for a all of college.
The part that got me the most, was how she DEMANDED that we spent 200$ a month on clothes.
>>26144341
>Most of the people I know who do manual labor all day and have done it for 30+ years complain about their backs.
And most people are fucking stupid. I watch my coworkers bending over and lifting heavy shit with their backs. On more than one occasion, they've watched me lift something with proper form (aka using my legs) and they laugh and ask me what the hell I'm doing. They think they're going to be young forever and it doesn't matter how they abuse their body.
Your body is built to do heavy work all day every day. If you treat it well it will treat you well. I guarantee most of the people you know are idiots who didn't start taking care of their bodies until their bodies were already starting to fall apart.
Regarding the rest of it, yes there are excuses for the various situations the game puts you in but being hit with all of them at once means your character is an idiot who deserves what he got.
>>26144440
I feel sorry for people who think how your teacher does.
Imagine the money she'd save and have, even if she has a decent job, by simply spending money on the lesser valued options and realizing that cars especially are not a worth-while investment. They last you a good few years then they break down, making you spend hundreds to thousands for maintenance. You could easily buy a cheaper car like that honda civic you mentioned, and when the same problems occur, spend that money for the maintenance falling back on that 13-10k left over from that 20k car you didn't get.
>she DEMANDED that we spent 200$ a month on clothes.
The hell?

I know Forbes has been going to complete shit over the past few years, but come on
Being working poor and being one disaster away from perpetual debt induced insurmountable poverty is a real thing, but the game would be much better if it tried to use real world statistics and prices. As in, I shouldn't randomly ram into a car, need a root canal, and get fired all in the same month. I should have the option to drop things from my budget as needed, and get cheaper cellphones. As it is it's basically assuming I'm unlucky, an awful driver, can't stand up for myself, and wildly overpay for literally everything.
The general point that being broke makes a kid's childhood shitty is valid though.
game doesnt work but i remember there was some bug where you could get infinite money by smashing a piggybank and somehow doing it over and over

i heard some horror stories from landlords before too.
a spic family was staying in my friend's owned homes. and they were late on rent for a few months. so he took them to court, after months and $$ the court finally evicted them. EXCEPT, they get to stay from another 1/3 of the year FOR FREE before you can legally kick them out. The worst part was, when they finally did leave they trashed the entire house. (cement down toilets and drains). They also cut open some of the drywall, dropped dead fish/ meats, and sealed the wall back up. Leaving my friend hiring multiple professionals and months before he could find the source.
he had to basically renovate the entire house before anyone can live in there. All in his money
>>26141240
>The impossibly bad luck simulator
>>26145437
>cut open drywall
>sealed it back up
This did not happen
>>26145481
have you never done drywall repair anon?
you cut it open and repair it with compound tape/compound and paint?
>>26141746
This, over 50% of Americans have less than $1000 saved up, that should automatically disqualify you from even thinking about having a kid.
I have a saying more people need to live by:
If you can't afford it, abort it.
>>26141240
Game is dumb.
First, if you're on the balls of your ass, why would you have responsibilities like a kid or pet. If you make $9/hr part time, you can't afford to have a kid or dog or cat. And it's your own fault that you do. Somehow I, a 25 year old, am childless. I do have a dog, but that's because I can afford to have a dog. If I was working at McDonalds, I wouldn't have gotten my dog.
Second, it's over the top. I mean landlord raises rent, some kid breaks your glass, you have car accident, landlord finds out you have a pet, some nigger stole gas from your car and a whole lot of other shit in the same month? Yeah right.
>>26141240
Complete nonsense.
1. ACA contributions are based on the previous year's incone

>>26145613
You don't get Medicaid unless you're a black single mom with 10 kids
Pretty sure you guys with tons of money at the end, never payed for anything and never took days off etc. That would never happen irl. Also, you could donate plasma etc too. But you cannot do that very often. etc. This whole test didn't have options that are legit.
>>26145827
You would also not have a car accident everyday.

2 ez for a NEET like me
if id ever make it through a month with that much money left id be living like a king 2bh
>>26145947
My family was never that close to being on the street, and I still wore Wal-Mart tier clothes because why the fuck not? They hold up just as well as other clothes and then I could have vidya and shit with the money saved.
This whole game is hilariously shit though.
>have kid
Lol how stupid these people are? bringing out children they can't afford

For christ's sake I can't even afford to have a child, why the fuck would I have a pet?

>What job is so steady that you have a 0% chance of being laid off?
It's the context of the game anon, it pretty much makes you take a low wage job and then buy/rent a house when in all reality you wouldn't do that. I also rolled my eyes at how it gauged that it was more costly to live father away from the work when the reality is everywhere is a different story, I live in an area where living in town is twice as cheap as out of town but it because it's a party university so noise and other issues are always a problem.
>>26142841
This killed me too, in a world of Big lots, TJ maxxs and the like your telling me there is no down the middle choice or a good brand cheap? Never mind that $100 kid shoes are status shoes further showing how out of touch these people are. >>26142983

TL;DR
This game is as shit as the people who made them with their shared logical fallacies and what-if thinking.

The challenge was *only* to survive the month
I could've done that with just the starting $1000 if the game actually gave me more freedom

Yeah and I woulda had 1.5k if my car didn't explode for no reason.
>>26146446
HAHA HOLY SHIT THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

who /bought ramen for the week/ here?
>>26146331
Yea, but after that you have nothing, so what now?
>>26146439
>freedom
Well, of course everyone would make it out with more than 1k if they had more freedom. I'd sell my fucking car, ship jamal and fluffly off to the pound, and let my friend stay for the whole month. Plus I'd sue my boss and my landlord respectively.
>>26146490

Some off the books or illegal job
I have a minimum wage job right now, and people don't show up left or right, nobody is getting fired and everyone is nice and lenient. I also got hired on the spot and there was no interview, you just didn't have to be a criminal. It's bullshit

Is this really the kind of bullshit poorfags deal with? Where the fuck is my family? What is my degree in that I can't possibly find a better job than $9/hour? How much fucking debt do I have? Why am I a single parent?
This is hilarious. It's like every single facet of your player character is deliberately designed to make you poor.
It doesn't say I was born poor. It doesn't say my entire family is dead/jailed/useless. It doesn't say I got evicted and fired from my last job. It doesn't say how I spent $500 on spring break out of my $30000 fucking student loan debt. That leads me to believe that this situation was because of BAD CHOICES
>>26146685
Dont forget the part where they racked up a shitton in credit card billsto be fair though, I can see how this would be hard for someone who was retarded enough to make *all* of these shit choices in the past
Also where the fuck did the pet come from
>>26146409
Yo do realize you get different scenarios every time you play it? There is no winning, you just got lucky.
>>26146685
It pretty stupid. Most poor people I meet have iPhones and 300 dollar shoes and live more of a life than me and I actually have an abundance of money and am middle class. The government is too lenient, if you're poor you shouldn't be allowed to live extravagant lifestyles. Material items have nothing to do with living. Sure in education for kids they should all be supported, but home life? Food stamps, but anything else should be earned with hard work.
That's what's wrong with this country now, people come here because they know they don't have to earn anything to live comfortably. They can walk into a supermarket, and take out 200 dollars from their food stamp card in cash to buy whatever they want.
>>26146747
>Material items have nothing to do with living
Oh cool, I guess I don't need food then
>>26146747
>They can walk into a supermarket, and take out 200 dollars from their food stamp card in cash to buy whatever they want.
Except you can't.
>>26146780
Is this a new level of bait? How is food comparable to designer handbags or video games?
>>26146815
Except I work in a supermarket and have customers who do this on the regular. Unless you're telling me they are putting money into their food stamp card.
>>26146734
You're exactly right. I'm a pretty optimistic person (>inb4 why are you here) and I see this is just fucked up beyond repair. This person deserves to be poor. I have a degree and I pay $53/month for student loans. I had ~6k debt from university originally so I figure this person literally has 30,000 of debt. Then I get a car payment for $250? What the fuck am I driving? A leased 2016 SUV?
I laughed when I saw the pet! I clicked give it to a friend and they wanted me to log into kikebook!
>>26146815
At least where I live, the food stamp (or EBT I think) cards have both a food fund and a general fund
>>26146747
Just because poor people have things, doesn't mean they didn't work/save up for them. It always pisses me off when people get angry at poor people with items. Unless they are buying jordans and other needless BS. Then don't judge too quickly. I knew a guy who saved worked his ass off for weeks just to get a gameboy game doing odd chores around the house. People also give poor people stuff. You cannot judge someone's condition based on what they have.
>>26146882
but should they really be buying those things when there are other issues you should be worried about? like what youre eating tonight?
>>26143316
Poor people shouldn't have pets
this was laughably easy
>>26146882
No. They deserved to be judged. If you're still on welfare and food stamps you clearly cannot afford luxuries. Stop using the government money, and then you can say you worked hard to afford your cat or dog, or those new jordans.
I see people on food stamps and then they're spending 50 dollars on pet food. You can't afford a pet if you can't feed yourself.
I see kids with iPhones, and then go to college for free. You shouldn't have an iPhone or a car if you can't afford college.
Poor people wouldn't stay poor if the government wasn't helping them and they knew the true value of hard work. I work overtime when I want to buy extra luxuries, I don't get government assistance or impulsively buy useless garbage to show off.
Hard work is being able to take care of all your needs before getting to your wants. If you can't do that, you haven't been doing jack shit you lazy fuck.
>>26146987

>>26147002
at the rate of terrible things happening in the game. i wouldnt be surprised if his apartment suddenly exploded
>>26147059
>really, then why are you paying less tax than someone with more money than you?
What do you want me to do? Beg the government to raise the taxes? I'm not a part of legislation. I pay my taxes, pay what is owed, I'm not in debt, and I am not on government assistance. Whatever you're trying to say is just your opinion. I have not made up any details about what government assistance is.
>Everyone ITT going 'kek that was EZ' when the rent thats due tomorrow is $700 and they only have roughly 300-400 left
>>26147154
Add to that the fact you've started the month with $1000.
I cheated and started the game with 42222, and with paying for everything I could, I ended with $38600.
The game is basically saying that you need to earn at least 4K a month if you have a kid.
No shit sherlock.
I make semi poorfag choices despite having a high paying white collar job.
As a result I can afford to grow my saving, invest, and spend on my hobbies.
All this because I have an IQ over 75.
