Budget Survivor

12 months, a real allocation trade-off every month, 2 strikes and you're out โ€” no download.

Disclaimer: A game for entertainment. Careers, salaries, and life outcomes are simplified game mechanics for fun, not real-world data, financial modeling, or career advice.

Split each month's income into an emergency buffer, savings, and spending money, then a random surprise expense hits. Survive 12 months with fewer than 2 uncovered shortfalls to win. The allocation math is real and deterministic โ€” only the monthly expense event is randomized.

This product is a live, in-browser experience โ€” not a file to preview.

Free to play right now, in this browser, no download or account required.
