Transportation & Wealth Game
ROAD TO RICHES: LEASE IT, BUY IT, OR HOOF IT™
Your ride is one of your biggest monthly costs. Buy a car, lease one, or go car-free — make the real decisions,
dodge the traps, and see what each choice costs over 5 years.

- A full game with all three paths takes about 15–20 minutes.
