Travel. Build wealth. Chase fame. Start a business. Or watch everything go left. Lose your job. Fall behind on bills. Damage relationships. Face health problems. Deal with court, probation, custody issues, housing instability, addiction, bad decisions and the consequences that come after them. Then figure out what happens next. ONE LIFE. CONNECTED CONSEQUENCES. Your career affects your money. Your record can affect your opportunities. Your health can affect your work and relationships. Your finances affect where and how you live. Your choices can affect your family.
