The Rat Race

We all know what the Rat Race is. Although it will be defined differently by many people. I see it as the regular routine of daily drudgery connected with your job and lifestyle.

We get up half asleep, in the morning after being woken up with an alarm. Have breakfast and prepare to go out to work. The daily commute is the visual representation of the Rat Race with queues of traffic and the stress and anguish that goes with it. We suffer it over and over again!

 

Cashflow Game Part 2 - The Rat Race

In the game 'Cashflow' The Rat Race is represented by going round a circular section in the centre of the board whilst picking up cards which provide either opportunities to get you out of the Rat Race, or liabilities that just drain your money away.

The game teaches you to take opportunities when they are presented to you. One of my winning strategies is to take as many opportunities as you possibly can, provided you can afford it!
