The Monopoly Challange

Hello all,

The surprise today is how much people don't care about there financial education. I know this is a rant, however the number of people destroying their financial lives due to lack of financial literacy is STAGGERING.

Wondering how you are doing? Take the challenge.

1. Get out the old MONOPOLY game collecting dust.

2. Get some friends interested in playing a unique game of MONOPOLY.

3. Play by the NORMAL RULES (i.e. no money on FREE PARKING, auction properties not normally bought). You may need to consult the Internet if it has been a while.

4. Here is the challenge. Everyone starts with $500, and you collect NO MONEY when you pass go.

5. No matter how tempting, NO CHEATING. If you cheat here that should tell you how honest you are with yourself in real life.

If you think this is impossible, you are wrong. It's possible, but it's not easy. Get creative, hopefully you will be enlightened (financially speaking).
