My favorite is GTA Online.

This may not be original but in here I learned how to value time and money (earnings). Not only does it contain almost all the game aspects that I love: story, shooting, collection, mystery, and excitement, it is also difficult. Yes, difficult. I am one of those heavy-duty grinders who manages multiple businesses at once, all of which serve as my passive income and the heists as my active income. Because of this, I value my hard-earned money to well that I'd only buy what I need to earn more money. I know what you'd say, that I am wasting my time because i should be enjoying what I am playing. Yes you are correct, I am not enjoying grinding repeatedly but I know that someday I'd have more money so that I can buy everything that I wanted.

That's what brought me here. If I can apply my thriftiness in-game, why can't I IRL?

Thank you.
