    This might be a bit vain but I strongly relate to what Slagathor taught us. I was never particularly driven by money personnaly. I live in a small appartment, I have a small but good group of friends to talk to, I have a low paying job and yet... Life is good. I do not crave for anything further. Do I sometimes wonder if it would be better to have more space, or being in a relationship? Absolutely. But they are not a goal per se. If it happens it'll happen, else I can still enjoy my current, uneventful but unbothered life. Thanks AA

I am sure it will be okay. My uncle did this after their first children whom they didn't look after at all, my cousin grown by my grandparents, their marriage was falling apart since he was jobless for years. Both were abusive to their children, and his wife is the most annoying human I have ever met. She is lazy,screams all the time and thinks she is smart when she is dim af. They decided to make a second child to save the marriage and this stupid mf took fertility medicine because she couldnt get pregnant one year so she ended up with twins. Now they have three children ,an unhappy marriage and my uncle is still jobless so he decided to be a houseman.

      Pop up after work
      Day 1:
      “You noticed a sore throat growing worse as you worked, however, you can’t afford to take off work and even if you could, you can’t afford the deductible on your crappy health plan. You ignore it and hope it goes away on its own.”
      Day 2:
      “You feel increasingly worse and are running a fever. However you still must work. You take OTC medications and hope this is the worst of it.”
      Day 3 and beyond:
      “While barely keeping yourself conscious at work, you get up to use the bathroom and collapse onto the floor. A colleague calls an ambulance and you are rushed to the emergency room. You have a serious infection that requires IV antibiotics and a hospital stay of a week. You feel much better after, but then you see the bill. $80,000. You will never be able to pay it off even with financial assistance. You will likely be forced to declare bankruptcy, wiping out your attempt at building good credit. Furthermore, your boss is very unhappy that you were gone for a week. Any chance of a raise is now highly unlikely. You might even get fired because your employment is “at-will”. The good news is that the profits of the company you work for are up 20%. The executives received bonuses of at least a couple hundred thousand dollars each. Also a son of one of the executives, whose work is lackluster at best, received a promotion increasing his compensation by 30%. He also gets the same time off as the executives, an amount similar to what Europeans get by law.”

    I really would like to see you look at various ways to earn passive income in The Sims because of all of your Genie spamming and to determine what's the best non-Genie, non employed method to make money. Especially as it would have you finally play around with the magic kit for once.

    00:35 yeah that was the point. No joke that was the mission statement of the first Sims. It's about how stupid the "keeping up with the Jones'" mentality is and how you end up buying expensive things that make your life worse because they break and make you miserable.
    This was stated by the lead designer of the game.

I always wanted the cheat codes to have mass wealth just to live a overly ridiculous boujee lifestyle and here you were purposefully struggling and strategically hustling your way to the top with hilarious commentary and smart ideas on how to get your money up being stingy and frugle as a scrounge mcduck could possibly be. 😂😂 Great run!
