To anyone who has ever wondered "How Do you know how to do so many things?" This sort of thing is exactly how - you read it, you prepare, and you try it, and you bloody well try it till you get yourself squared away. This is designed for people with Third-world levels of Resources - You have no excuse.
I'm disappointed that drug dealing and prostitution aren't jobs available in the game.
This game is bullshit. I made all the hard decisions in the beginning and it still said I didn't have the money to cover all my bills when I clearly did. Someone siphoned gas from my car, but I live 5 minutes from work, I can walk.
Fuck this, it's not my fault people are shitty at planning.

Its obviously rigged so you can never win. They just made it to make a point in favor of their organization.
No life is that densely populated with misfortune unless you have planned poorly, or somebody is actively screwing with you. This guy in the game has a million options that are denied to him. He could rent out a room, he could take public transit instead of driving, or any number of money-saving tactics. His life will definitely be difficult for a while, but it isn't the abject tragedy that this UMD makes it out to be.

That's true, but to be fair to them, they're trying to convey it's hard, and trying to get you to donate them money. Though, there are people who are smart, do make good choices, and yet, they still live in that kinda poverty, because yes, sometimes the world does just fuck you like that.
Granted, my power was cut and I had a little more than $1000 of bills. However, I'm confident I could have bailed myself out if the next month wasn't as full of suck.

Since that's a bit depressing, There is also a project of collecting first-world knowlege of basic techiques and distributing them to the 3rd world for free. Everything from Agriculture and Animal care and husbandry (Which doesn't mean what Wales thinks it does), all the way through to building and mechanical work, electricity, Production of various things such as bricks and clothing, Structure theory, Disaster mitigation, Damned near everything you can think of.

Yes, the game is bullshit.
