Yesterday my daughter showed me this powerful website game called Playspent Playspent was developed Durham Ministries of North Carolina. It models the choices that more then 14 million unemployed Americans have to make every month. Real scenarios, real choices.
Play Now and post in the comments below how many days you make it....
As a debt consultant I see and feel this pain every day. As Real Estate Agents you deal with this pain every day. We try to ignore it. We try to focus on those that aren’t suffering. But the suffering is real and it’s a problem that all of us need to acknowledge.
As I played this game, when it came time to ask for help, I couldn’t and didn’t. This is primarily because my husband has been unemployed for more than two years with no job in site. He is turned down nearly daily because he’s over experienced. Had I asked for help people might have thought it was for real.....and maybe it would have been!
It’s real, it’s exhausting and many of you reading this post understand first hand the choices that must be made in this game.
Play the game. What will you do next time you see someone on a street corner with a sign? Pay it Forward.
How can we as a community help to combat this reality in our own cities?.....
