      One bad decision hurts the line. He managed to pick the only business that is modelled realistically. Meanwhile I leveraged my thriving gift shop into a massive loan (Vantander Bank gives MUCH more than the one in the starting area), put it into a size 75 clothing shop with all 8 kinds of clothes for full 75 capacity and turned a 250k investment into a daily gain of 100k. Very stonks.
      Now I'm just sleeping, gaming and watching TV until my headquarter staff reaches 100% skill...

    hey NL just so you know the investment index funds in this game aren't really used to make a profit and have no volatility like you noticed, they're used as tax havens to avoid the weekly negative interest rate the bank charges (yes this is a thing) so the investments avoid that and are really useful when you have millions in liquid capital. also after year 2 the IRS sends you your yearly tax bill and you have to go and pay. enjoy!

    The meat bit is very logical. Everyone always talks about that humans are technically omnivorous, but when you look at our ancestors and closest relatives, they eat mostly fruit and the bit of meat they eat comes almost exclusively from insects.
    And yeah, a huge role is played by what you're used to, so reducing meat will give you a few weeks that are weird, but after that you will have a far nicer digestion, a lot more energy (I started running because I didn't know what else to do with my energy) and you can eat so much more because the caloric density is usually a lot lower (depends on what else you eat, though^^).

      I believe there is a running theory in the paleoanthropology community that the reason why our ancestor's brain began to grow so much was due to the hunter gatherer lifestyle where in they would eat meat and berries. Not insect meat, but meat that they hunted from mega fauna. The theory is that they needed the increase in protein in order for the brain to develop more. But then again this hardly applies to modern humans as we are more sedentary.

    3.50 for a donut was fine. You need to stock every possible coffee shop item to make money probably. Also a weeklty costco delivery is probably advisable for the coffee shop. You could probably also open earlier, and have one till going for 2 hours before your employee comes in, then have 2 tills open until about 2 hours before closing, then you can take a break and let your employee close up.
