    The funny thing about that "shipwreck scavenger salary isn't even minimum wage" remark is that it's actually double the current US federal minimum wage working 40 hours/week every week (15,080 at $7.25/hour). That's right, it's 2022, a full 15 years after the minimum wage was set to $7.25, and it hasn't changed at all at the federal level.

    At retirement is says quick sell your house, while the other option said just to sell it. Selling it early lets you shop around with the prices to get the best price, while selling it at retirement just sells it at the first price you get. If you're in the lead in life experience points, like the hearts, books or piggy banks, then buying and selling houses while still on the board is far more beneficial

Or you could skip college and start two careers, and be like a treasure hunter AND a sand castle builder. Then when you get to the part where it's like, "Do you want to get married or invest in yourself?" You could instead have the options to get married or get roommates. And then for the having kids options it was just like, "Have more birds!" And each time you get the chance to upgrade your career it's like, "Here's a 3rd or 4th job!"

    PSA: in modern economies, currency IS debt. A dollar is nothing but a ledger entry saying "the US government, which issues dollars, owes you the value of one dollar, as defined by the US government." (Likewise yen/Japan.) The national debt is just the number of dollars in circulation. (Federal taxes, incidentally, do not pay for things; they just erase dollars, to prevent inflation.) The nation's actual wealth, which leads other economies to value the currency they issue, stems from resources and production. So yes, it's common (though not necessary) that high national wealth is attached to a large national debt (i.e. currency supply). Not because they "spent money to make money," but because they can afford to literally MAKE that much money without inflation killing its value.
