In the game, you earn a substantial number of LlFE Points when you get
married because
it
enhances your quality of life and helps you gain new
life experiences
-
3,000 points when you marry, and then 1,500 each turn
thereafter. Plus, if you land on a Get Married space and are already married,
you will receive a $50OUanniversary gift"from each player, as well as 3,000
LlFE Points.
In real life, marriage provides many advantages as well, including financial
stability. You' l l have two incomes to help pay for cars, houses and other
expenses. And married couples have certain legal and tax advantages.
W h e n you marry in real life, it' s important to fully understand each other' s
financial situation, including previous debts, insurance coverage and
job-related benefits. You'll also want to candidly discuss your future
financial and career goals so that you work together as a team.
In the game, having kids earns you substantial Ll F E Points (350 per child
initially and then 350 per kid each year thereafter) and a one-time dollar
amount ($500 per child) because they enhance your quality of life and
provide you with a variety of valuable life experiences.
However, children can also be expensive: Your salary is reduced by 10% per
kid, per year, up to 40%. So, it's important to carefully consider how many
children you want to have and when you can afford them.
In real life, there are several tax benefits that help parents offset the extra
expenses that come with having children, such as an annual tax credit
for each child and deductions for child care expenses. However, keep in
mind the many additional costs you'll incur by having children, including
additional health insurance, clothing, school and college expenses, etc.
You'll also want to ensure that you have adequate life insurance to
provide for your family if you should die.
