Will you be SPENT? This post is pretty serious. While I was watching the news on my laptop I heard a story about how there a thousands of homeless people in America and Millions without jobs. One of the women began to explain about this "game" that is free to play online called SPENT. (which you can try here) PLAY SPENT . What the game is, is a simulator into what life would be like living paycheck to paycheck like many Americans are doing today and having to make choices for your child, grocery shopping,health bills and many more everyday choices!
The game also give you many facts along the way of how many people are actually living today. The object of the game is to see if you can get through a month without becoming broke or missing your bills. I made it to the end of the month with $397 but I still needed an $800 root canal that I could not afford. Its decisions like theses that so many people actual have to make everyday that give you a real perspective into what life is like when you have to struggle. Please try the game and see if you can make it to the end of the month or will you become homeless with no money...
Let me know how you did! how much money did you have left over? How many days could you get through?
Urban Ministries of Durham is a place in North Carolina (where I was born) that helps provide food clothing and shelter to those who desperately need it! if you have time take time to visit the site and get a first hand look or point of view at what so many people in our nation face

Wowzers! *sigh*
I'm gonna really give it a try.
wow, I played the game and made it through with $426 dollars after the month even though I lost my job. But those are some hard decisions when you think about it.
I could only imagine that in real life, those decisions would not have been so easy for me to make.
Ps..i just started an blog. Mostly inspirational but check it out and follow if you would like!
