Could you survive in poverty with only $1000? Spent simulates just that.

The game is fairly easy to cheese but I tried to play fairly and ended up with this.

Hah, that was a fun little game. Made it through my first playthrough with a whopping $27 dollars left, and would've had more if I hadn't started tying up loose ends in the last week of the month (when I realised I still had $400). It strikes me that this game is trying to get across a serious point, but it just doesn't work I'm afraid. For a start-off, how come I only got the option of working one job? Most people I know who run close to the line financially take second jobs, either legit or cash-in-hand - and how come I couldn't reapply for another job after losing my first one in the second week?

Anyway, it was a diverting 5 minutes or so.
