Life In Simulation is a free, browser-based financial life simulator built by XCACTECH. Practice budgeting, investing, credit, mortgages, retirement, and entrepreneurship in a risk-free sandbox. Watch how real money decisions compound over years and decades. No download, no sign-up paywall, no real money at stake.

Open Checking, Savings, Brokerage, 401K, Roth IRA, and Credit Card accounts. Each behaves like the real instrument, including 401K employer match and Roth tax treatment.

INVESTING & MARKETS

Buy and hold simulated index funds, individual stocks, and cryptocurrency. Watch compounding grow your portfolio over decades, and learn the cost of chasing market timing.

CREDIT & LOANS

Build a FICO score, qualify for auto and home loans, and learn the math behind interest, amortization, and revolving credit balances.

REAL ESTATE & VEHICLES

Finance vehicles and real estate, rent out properties for passive income, and watch appreciation, depreciation, and maintenance affect your net worth.

BUSINESSES & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Choose an industry, build a real P&L, hire staff, raise capital from procedurally generated VCs, and exit through IPO, acquisition, or lifestyle dividends.
