LIVE A LIFE AGE 25

Forty years. One mix at a time.

You're 25 and you've started saving. Every year the papers hint at the weather: sometimes they're right. Life deals its cards at its own pace, and most of them make you choose.

Crashes are coming; you won't know which year. The question this game asks is the one the whole site is about: does your mix survive the year you needed the money?

About this page

Forty years in one sitting

You walk one road from 25 to 65. Each year opens with what the papers say about the weather ahead, life deals its cards along the way, and you choose how your savings are split. At 65 the road shows what your mix did through every crash.

Is the market real history?

No. The weather is invented and the forecasts are unreliable on purpose; the end card counts their false alarms. The same seed deals the same market and the same cards whatever you choose, so two runs with different mixes are a fair comparison.

What are the cards?

Eight forks along the road, like patching the car or replacing it, or holding out for a better job against taking the sure one. Their money lands years later, and every one shows up in the recap at 65.
