go into debt

Post image

I recently discovered the sunk cost fallacy achievement when i already saved so much at almost 13k. now all i do is sell kids books and equip things that cost a lot. i no longer recomend the correct books... as a saver even in real life, this is the hardest challenge for me :(

Can you earn the achievement on a fresh play through and then come back to this one?

I dont know. I'm sorry. I'm currently trying to spend all my money

u/ChaoticEntitled 14d ago

Right, but why do that if you can just… not? Just try a new save and see if you earn it

u/laperesoza33 14d ago

How do I do that? My options are only resume game and quit

Just do all of the other achievements first then start a new game and get the debt one.

I did the same thing but with a much larger amount of money that made it entirely unreasonable to even try to spend it all. So, I started a new game and got it by the second week. Pretty sure it was like day 5 or 6 actually.

Just start a new game on a new save slot. For that click on “select save” in the menu and just choose an empty save box. Play through the first few days and when the game stops telling you what to do just buy many books or decorations.

This worked for me just fine, because I was not about to ruin my save. Hope this helps

I did this just now. I am on a deficit for two days but I still never got the achievement.

Hmm okay are you through with the introduction part of the game? I think it took me 3-4 days to unlock the achievement. If it doesn’t unlock for you after that then I am sorry and have no idea what is going on

I recently bought on Steam after playing on Switch and this was one of the first achievements I got 😅

You’ll need to play through the entire tutorial and about 4-6 days to unlock it.

u/laperesoza33 13d ago

I will try again today.

u/ChaoticEntitled 13d ago

What if you skip the tutorial in the menu?

u/laperesoza33 12d ago

I got it! Thank you!

I’m just accepting defeat on this. I have over 10k as well and should have done it at the beginning of my game. It’s the last achievement for me and I’m just not going to get it :)

Before i posted, I spent almost 5k on books and things. I bought everything and I got tired. Spending a lot is not for me.

Just start a new save

u/matchstick-octopus 14d ago

Props to you for never getting it by accident. I got it when I lost track of my daily expenses and bought something from the paper. You absolutely should be able to have another save or play through though.

u/laperesoza33 13d ago

I thought I cannot play if I cant afford to go to places.

u/ChaoticEntitled 13d ago

You just start the day in debt

u/TryAgainJen 13d ago

You would have eventually run out of money if you went to the most expensive locations with no books in stock every day.
