Set up your starting life

Every month is 2 seconds. You begin just after graduation in the US, carrying student debt and a head full of plans. This version is tuned so wealth grows slowly and escaping the rat race actually feels hard.

Realistic salary growth & expenses
Stocks grow slower, with volatility
👤 Basic info

Big coastal cities pay more but burn cash faster. Smaller or Sunbelt cities are calmer but slower to grow.

🎓 Degree & path

STEM and business start higher, but any path can win with time, discipline, and a bit of luck.

💸 Starting conditions

Difficulty tweaks salary and cost of living. Family support changes your starting cash cushion.
