Make me Rich

A whole working life, age 22 to 62. Pay the bills, choose your risks, and grow your money until it works for you.

We rebuilt the game with real-world numbers, so your old save starts fresh. Thanks for playing round 1!

How to play

You start at 22 with a job. Pay comes in, bills go out every month. Prices rise about 3% a year.
Invest what you can spare. Each kind grows (and falls) like the real thing: savings are safe, the index fund grows more but crashes about once a decade.
Cards bring choices: every option has an upside and a cost. Read why after you choose.
Overtime pays more and drains your wellbeing. Low wellbeing slows raises and brings trouble.
Run out of cash? Savings pay first, then investments are sold, then the card at 22% a year. Too much card debt means bankruptcy: a painful fresh start.
Money works for me: when 4% a year of your investments covers your bills, you could quit your job.

Quitting just before a crash is the big risk: keep a year or two of bills in savings.
