The Great Depression Simulator

The goal of this game is... to survive the Great Depression!

First, you will randomly be assigned a career, which will determine your pay and your job security.

Congratulations!

You are a {{ randomCareer }}.

You make ${{ salary }} a year.

After incurring living expenses of $900 a year, you can allocate the rest into:

  • a bank, and gain a 5% annual interest.
  • put it in stocks and see how the market performs.
  • Any money not allocated, will be placed as cash under your mattress.

After $900 in living expenses you can either allocate the rest into the stock market for some outsize gains or put it in the bank for a 5% interest, or just store it under your mattress. Move each slider to choose your allocations for this round and then press "Continue."

Congratulations! You survived
