Edward, I’ve never heard of Tank Wars. Then again, I’m horrible at math so if I did have it available, I’d probably ignore it anyway. Sad. But true.

Christa, hmmm. You can tie it to personal finance like this: you might encounter a weakness in your spending or your budget, one that always gives you a hard time, and you constantly fail at it. The best solution is to avoid it altogether or find a work around (instead of fording, take a ferry. Just make sure you have the money saved at all times). Maybe that works?

Joanna, I loved the Sims. I would play it for hours, especially once they started with the expansion packs. But I did just the opposite. I would force them to go to work even when they didn’t want to; I never had the incentive to look up cheat codes. And I won’t even tell you what my husband did to those poor Sims…

Dave, walking is so important. I work from home and my dogs remind me when I need to get up and take a break. They’re the best employees!

Chris, I am sorry to hear about your misfortune :) It is a great game, though. I never went at the grueling pace but I always picked the poorest profession. Not sure why.

Greg, I loved the terrible graphics and green color, too. The new version is really fun, though.

This is actually a great analogy. Buy your necessities first. Then, worry about the rest. So true.

I always went at the grueling pace…needless to say i was always the only one left at the end.
