I found this game sucks you in to spending a lot of time with you computer. If your going to make a go of it you have to look in on things several times a day, at least in the early stages if your going to survive. I wasn't getting things done that I needed to do and my wife was complaining that I was spending too much time with the machine. I had to cut myself off from this game cold turkey. I have a real life and the game was taking away from it. I do still think about it now and then.
