Welcome to Budget Sim!
The goal is to try and reach the highest net worth with the highest credit limit. If your cash reserves reach 0 or your credit limit is reached on purchases, you immediately lose the game.
You start out with $10,000 available in your cash account and are assigned to a random job.
Treat discretionary purchases as if they are typical purchases you would make at certain levels of wealth. All discretionary purchases are charged directly to your credit card.
Housing starts with a random rental appropriate for the number of people in your household. You can leave this rental once you have another one and/or you purchase a home.
All other expenses such as transportation, food, utilities, medical and insurance are automatically generated for each game.
