Economic decision-making and financial literacy.

Description
Spent is a short simulation game that challenges players to survive a month living on a limited income. Players must make difficult choices about housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and work. Each decision impacts their financial stability and overall well-being.

The experience highlights how economic systems, unexpected costs, and policy decisions affect everyday life. It’s a powerful tool for helping students develop empathy while also thinking critically about financial planning and economic inequality.
