Life in poverty

ⒶⓁⓁⒾⓈⓄⓃ ★★★ • Never tell me the odds
So recently, I played a game called Spent. If you go to playspent.org, it is a simulator for a single parent that has a very low income. 
 
This was a very interesting simulator. It opened my eyes to what real people actually face in the US. 
 
Have you every played Spent? If not, play the game. The website is "playspent.org". What were your thoughts on it? Did it open your eyes? What are your thoughts on poverty in America?
