Jobs: As you begin playing at age 5, earning commences with the Lemonade Stand Job. Advancement to higher-paying Jobs necessitates skill acquisition and Property ownership.

Invest: Achieving success involves prudent money management through Investments. Initially, deposit funds into a Savings Account offering 2% yearly interest. Upon reaching 18, unlock options for Low Risk Stock, Medium Risk Stock, and High Risk Stock Investments with fluctuating returns ranging from -10% to +15%, -20% to +30%, and -40% to +60%, respectively. Monitor the Charts closely for strategic buying and selling opportunities. Loans are accessible for Property, Skills, or living expenses during Skill acquisition, with the borrowing limit linked to completed Skills.

Charts: Examine the historical trajectory of your Net Worth and Stock performance categories (Low, Medium, High Risk) on the Charts page. Use these insights to optimize Investment transitions. While engaging in Jobs, monitor your Net Worth; a decline may signal a prime moment for reallocating investments.

Skills: Fulfill specific Skill requirements for Job eligibility and enhanced borrowing capacity for Loans. Learning a new Skill necessitates covering tuition fees and 9 months of living expenses without earning income during this period. Mandatory completion of certain Skills by designated ages is imperative, although you can acquire new Skills once prerequisites are met.

Property: Acquire distinct items from the Property section to qualify for specific Jobs.
