A computer game made by the Urban Ministries of Durham in North Carolina and an advertising firm called McKinney lets you play out life with a low-wage job as a single mom. The objective is to make it a month, juggling getting a job, rent, a place to live, food and coping with the costs of repairs, things for your child, insurance, etc.. Actually a very hard game to play and full of reminders of the difficulties of life on that kind of salary. Play the game. Seriously, if you haven’t played before, play it now. If you have played before, play it again. Especially important during this election season. just playing this game alone made me really stressed and anxious THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL THE HATER ANONS, PLAY THIS This game is amazing. Play it, play it, play it! I shared this with a professor who then had her students play it. So real. I made it through the month with $570. Is that a good one? (If so, that makes me feel a little more hopeful about my chances in getting out of the toxic environment I’m in.) Hon, you’ll be in charge of the money, and also we wouldn’t have a kid if our living situation was this bad and also pets are not happening until money. I was talking about before you and I move in together, love -- source link
