Can you survive?

  Play a simulation game of trying to survive on a minimum paying job.  Can you avoid being dragged down below the poverty line?  Try to honestly answer the questions.  At the end of the game it will ask for a donation. You are not expected nor would I donate to it.

The simulation is at:   playspent.org

Feel free to play a few times by taking the other jobs.

What surprised you about the simulation?  What did you learn about life near the poverty line?
