It encourages side hustles, such as real estate businesses, that eventually will create more passive income than expenses.

Each of the three types of cards — assets, liabilities, and sunshine cards — give your child ample practice making some great business decisions as well as personal finance decisions.

Well, just like in real life, market prices for ingredients change. Which means that overall profits can increase or decrease, depending on how much it costs for you to get your ingredients.
