Monopoly
Yesterday we played monopoly. The way we played monopoly had a few different rules to it. Everyone in the group would belong to a social class. The way we knew what social class we where in was by rolling the dice. Depending on how high you rolled depended on what class you were put into. I rolled the lowest number so I was in the lower social class. As the game went on I became broke. I started with about $300 and ended up with just $6. I wasn't a smart consumer. I spent most of my money when I had the chance. It wasn't a wise decision. Playing monopoly is a good teaching skill when it comes to money. You shouldn't spend your money right away. You should budget and watch were your money goes. Especially if you don't have a lot, like me. I've been raised in an upper-middle class, so we have enough money to survive. My family saves and budgets a lot. I've learned when to spend and when to save. There are to many people that will have a good amount of money will just go out and spend it and will be left with practically nothing.

I agree, but I also think when people don't have money but they still go out and buy, it's because of the media and advertising that makes people want to believe they can be a part of a higher social class if they have certain things.
