This game shows very effectively how poverty is a cycle, and how even the most basic of necessities and kindnesses become a stressful burden when you have so little to work with. Poor people have to work ten times harder than middle class or higher people to make ends meet. I think the only part missing here is the problem of having to buy cheap appliances/clothes/shoes etc only for them to break faster and needing replacing faster, thus ending up being more expensive. Other than that, I think you covered all aspects of poverty and minimum wage life very well. Fantastic job.
