The Good Life - A Debt Repayment Life Simulation RPG
September 5th, 2017, 01:14
At Fig, you can now pledge for The Good Life, a game that is labeled as a debt repaying life simulation RPG. They are asking for 1.5 Million dollars and are at 11% at the moment.
More information.
Play as Naomi, a photographer from New York. After a scandal left her in debt, she took on a job that sent her to 'the happiest town in the world,' a rural English town out in the middle of nowhere.
Photographing evidence of the town's many secrets and sending them back to her client daily will earn her some very nice rewards…
But most of Naomi's comments start with the words "I hate," and she can't stop complaining… Will this city slicker be able to survive out in the British backwoods?
Journey to Rainy Woods… a small town in Northern England surrounded by forests. Nestled in abundant nature, stone houses built in the Middle Ages still stand beside one another. The townspeople look out for each other, love their families, work hard, and enjoy nightly drinks at the local pubs.
All townspeople operate on a 24 hour schedule. Everyone lives a different life.
Each character has a unique personality and lives out a unique life. Even though they live in a game world, they worry, suffer, have fun, love, and hate as much as any real person.
Rainy Woods has a big secret… At night, all the villagers turn into cats.
Villagers aren't the only ones who get to turn into cats. Naomi also gets to turn into a cat at night, of course!

That video just confused me. So an American girl from New York moves to a rural English Town and the whole video is narrated by a Japanese man and the character herself speaks Japanese. This isn't even getting into everyone becoming cats at night. Again so confused by this.

Not my thing. I think it will struggle to reach its goal but you never know.

They kind of lost me with the turning into cats bit, it just seems so out of flavor with the rest of the vibe of the game.

That said the cat thing makes it really only for the Japanese.

RL is a debt repayment life simulation. Why would I want that in a game?
Oh, cats, right.

1.5 Million for this?

Getting in debt only to buy stuff you don't need, at high interest rate like credit cards, yes that's the road to disaster.

He probably has something like a 401k from a company with a matching %. My company does this as well. I pay in 5% pre-tax to my 401k and my company matches that dollar for dollar. I also get "free" stock shares for just being a corporate/staff employee.
Ergo, I borrow at 3.9% and then dump 5% into my 401k. My company matches that and I make a total of 10% pre-tax with the money. It offsets the loan easily.

Starting with say $10,000
Right: $11,000
Right: $12,100
Wrong: $10,890
Right: $11,979
Wrong: $10,781
Right: $11,859
Right: $13,045
The important thing is not to panic, economy goes up and down so just keep it there. For example, during the deep recession of like 9 years ago, my total stock was worth like 60% the value it used to have, but I kept it there, eventually it caught up and surpassed the previous amounts.

I never pulled anything out in 2008 either. I cried in the darkneas when it tanked but almost everything has recovered or surpassed. The only people that really lost were the ones that panicked and sold at the bottom.
