The anti-cookie clicker!!! It's so cool how our games took the same base idea of "you're a rich person with too much money" but went in completely different directions. We were originally trying to imagine a game very similar to yours but couldn't figure out how to make the mechanics work as a cookie clicker ("If you have a lot of money, why don't you just buy the expensive things right away?"). You totally cracked it! Needing to sell your shares to access your wealth is a great way to get the cookie clicker mechanic work with this theme. I really enjoyed playing -- it's surprisingly hard to get rid of all your money! I got down to 400k. Great job!

Appreciate your nice comment! The idea about needing cash actually came from real life - Billionaires might have a lot of wealth but a lot of it is tied up in stocks. The thing that is missing from real life is that you could take loans. But I thought that wouldn't make sense for this game
That basic idea came pretty fast, then I just rushed to make it a game
