So you start with putting in your personal financial information. This creates a personal foundation of awareness. If you collect an allowance, if you're in high school put in your car note and car loan, how many hours you work, how much you make per hour, etc.
With that criteria you are presented with opportunities you can take advantage of. Or they may be really bad opportunities. The best way to become better is by failing and making mistakes when you lose it all. It teaches you how to think and helps you become more financially aware. Understanding is one thing, but without practice or execution, it's worthless.
The value of this game is tremendous. You can play the game whenever you want with no consequences. But you only have 1 life in the real world where you can spend several years fixing financial problems.
