Paying off debt and getting a stack of cash.

Being able to take care of people.

In that order.

But then you still realize how the entire thing isn't house of cards. And you are still a peasant, with a few extra lives.

But that's about as good as it gets for the working people.

The only real solution is quit being poor and that's pretty much unreachable for like 80% of population.
