Escape the Grind

Escape the rat race.

You start with a salary, monthly expenses, and maybe some debt. Each month you make real financial decisions: invest in index funds, buy crypto, start a side business, or pay down that credit card at 24% APR.

Your goal: build enough passive income to cover your expenses without needing a paycheck. Go broke and it's game over.

This is not a clicker game. The financial mechanics are realistic.

16 asset classes-Index funds, dividend stocks, crypto, REITs, rental property, side businesses, bonds, gold, vending machines, peer-to-peer lending, digital products, angel investments, and more. Each has realistic risk, return, and market sensitivity.

Market cycles that matter- Bull markets, crashes, crypto winters, housing booms, recessions. Your portfolio reacts based on what you own. All-in on crypto? A crypto winter will wreck you.

50+ life events- Car breakdowns, layoffs, promotions, babies, medical bills, side gig opportunities. Some are pure luck. Some force a real choice.

Stress system- Say no to everything and you'll burn out. Impulse buys, health scares, and bad decisions follow. Real financial freedom means smart spending, not zero spending.

3 difficulty levels

• Entry-level: no debt, decent margin
• Mid-career: student loans and car payment eating your margin
• Paycheck-to-paycheck: almost no margin, credit card debt at 24% APR
