| Can Monopoly help you understand personal finance? - Burlington County Times Posted: 30 Dec 2010 09:28 AM PST
Monopoly can, according to the blog moneyning.com. The blog gives nine reasons how the game Monopoly can teach you about personal finance. Here's the top four ways Monopoly can teach you about money. 1. Life is What You Make It The first rule of Monopoly is that everyone starts out with the same amount of money – a healthy $1,500 – and we all start from the same place at the Go square. From there the game can be anyone's and it is the person who takes the greatest advantage from their opportunities who can triumph over their opponents. In a game of chance like life you will eventually have an advantage turned your way and you need to make sure you seize that opportunity and make the most of it. If you do get the first roll of the dice you have the first chance to buy up as many properties as you can and you have a free run to avoid a lot of rent payments early on. Ultimately it is the player with the most properties who will gain a monopoly control of the board and this is an important lesson to apply to your personal finances because building a strong asset base will allow you to earn a passive income. Other players will pay you rent and with good assets you can make improvements and ask a higher rent. 4. You Need an Emergency Fund Out there on the Monopoly board you never know what a chance card is going to throw your way – you could be required to pay for improvements on your hotels, pay taxes or school fees, or advance to the nearest railroad and pay twice the rent.
