The game is rigged to encourage you to struggle and empathize. The initial setting is truly a hardship by itself: unemployed, homeless, single parent $7,500 in credit card debt, delayed car payments and only $1,000 left. I managed to reach a month, but in that month: a relative died, the landlord arbitrarily increased the rent $150 BEFORE the end of the month, a kid broke a window that cost $100 to replace, got an incontestable false speeding ticket for 250, the car broke and a dental problem needing $800 developed, got depression, etc. How much can this guy endure? Also, this guy should have had food stamps already. Maybe he didn't qualify before? I figure him at 45-50, trying to get a job like the one he just lost and letting things go too far before realizing he had to get a low-paying one. It makes you think, that's for sure.
