Instructions
Poverty is a reality for millions of U.S. Americans throughout the country. The recent global economic crisis has only deepened this problem. Yet, many believe that poverty is an individual issue; that if one is poor, they are lazy, want handouts, or make bad choices. Many U.S. Americans are sympathetic to the poor in other nations, while not exhibiting the same attitude toward their fellow citizens. Poverty may or may not be a reality for you and your family, but some of your peers will find that this exercise hits close to home.
Go to the following website: http://www.playspent.org/
- Click “accept challenge.”
- Complete one month of living in poverty. Take notes about the decisions you make, the reasons you chose them, and how you feel about them. This is a simulation, designed for critical analysis, and not a “game” you try to “win.” After you finish playing through once record how much money you have left and if you have any outstanding bills or payments to make and those unpaid costs.
- Once you finish, go back into the simulation, chose a different job and complete the scenario again. Continue to take notes about the decisions you make, the reasons you chose them, and your feelings about them. Record how much money you have left and if you have any outstanding bills or payments to make and those unpaid costs.
