Monopoly?!

It was fun to take a relaxing day in class, we got to play monopoly. However, Sal put a twist into the game. Each piece that a player had represented how much money the player would make and start off with. For me I had the second highest income rating, so for me life was easier and the other players below me because they had to manage their money; however, they also had to take risks to buy things to so whenever a player landed on their place they would earn money. Also, I was in charge of keeping track of the money which was very confusing for me because I am not very good at math, I had to keep subracting and adding all over the place and then I had to read al the cards to make sure everyone had the right amount of income during the game and after.
I realize now once you earn a certain amount in yoiur life it's hard to go up in social class unless you are already rich or it comes from your family. If you start at the bottom it's hard to change your momentum and change your lifestyle and try to better yourself because you work a minimum wage job and it's very hard to make a living if you don't have a degree or didn't go to college.
