Al s o, when the game ends, the Ll F EPod automatically sells your houses and
cars for their current value, THEN converts your money to Ll F E Points using
the secret formula. If you are in debt after your houses and cars are sold, you
will LOSE Ll F E Points from your current total based on the secret formula, so
