It was a fun experience to have, it opens up your perspective on how the real world works while keeping it entertaining.

Fun and thoughtful

I really liked my experience with this app it showed me the reality that others face when spending. In the future I will have better spending habits thanks to this app.

Funds

Honestly it was hilarious how much credit card debt I was in, but it was fun to manage my money, including try ro afford everything😭

Great app

This is a really great app and I think more people high school should use it especially since they are going into what people like to call the real world instead of them just going into it blind they can go into it hopefully remembering when they used it and take what they hear and learned from the app in to their life as adults
