01 / MAKE A LIFE, MONTH BY MONTH

From getting by
to choosing what’s next.

Payday arrives. The bills follow. Then life throws you a surprise. What you do with what’s left is where your story begins.

In this cozy, turn-based money game, experiment with saving, investing, property and small businesses. Build passive income until it covers your bills — and work becomes a choice.
