Our teacher wanted us to understand how it is to be poor. Therefore we played a game called Spent. In the game, you have a low wage job and most survive a month with all that a family man must provide. Unless you sacrifice writing it is almost impossible to not go into debt.
The game gives you info about poverty in America. there are 14 million poor people in America, and it explains the problems they face on a daily basis. It does also remind me as a Norwegian citizen how lucky I am with the Norwegian welfare state.
