Cashflow: Doodads

The 3 unwelcome condition in Cashflow should be downsized, baby and doodads.

But unwelcome doodads takes a lot of time in our daily life. Yes, time. doodads not only takes our money but also our time away.

Think about it. If you land on doodads, you would feel upset because of the lost one turn that should have brought you an opportunity or a market card rather than your losing $10 for coffee. In a game, we always hope to land on doodads as less as better. But we often "land on" doodads in real life. How many times do we shop, drink beers, or plan our vacation next month? Even though we don't pay much for these doodads, but we spend much time still.

Can we, however, take all doodads away from our life? No. The game shows almost no impassion, except few for investment and negotiation. The lost impassion with interaction between families and friends appears in doodads. We don't need to care about the impassion while playing game, but we have to do while living.

Even though "doodads" is necessary in life, we may "simplify" these doodads costs. We may choose to have some tea at home instead go to Starbucks. We may also choose to have a picnic in a park instead a family vacation costs $2,000.
