Money coming jili strategies that will boost your income starting today
I still remember the first time I stepped into that 5x9 grid, standing at the bottom-center square with three mysterious doors staring back at me. It felt like being at the starting line of the most fascinating financial race of my life - except instead of running tracks, I was navigating what I now call the "Money Coming Jili" strategy. The principle is simple yet profound: every choice you make today, every door you open, directly impacts your financial future. Just like in Blue Prince's grid, we all start our financial journey with limited steps - in real life, that's our time, energy, and resources.
Each morning when I face those three doors in the game, I'm reminded of the investment decisions we all make daily. Should I draft the room that goes straight ahead, representing safe, predictable income streams? Or perhaps choose the bending path that symbolizes creative side hustles? Some days I've chosen dead ends - those business ideas that went nowhere, costing me precious steps. But here's what I've learned after playing this game for 47 days straight: the secret isn't avoiding wrong turns entirely, but minimizing their cost while maximizing your successful pathways.
Let me share a concrete example from yesterday's session. I had only 12 steps remaining - in financial terms, that's like having limited capital to invest. The first door I chose led to a straight pathway room, which in money terms is like putting funds into a reliable dividend stock. It didn't dramatically increase my position, but it provided steady progress. The second choice was riskier - a room that bent left, much like investing in an emerging technology startup. This is where most people hesitate, but I've found that calculated risks, when they represent only 30% of your total "steps," can create breakthrough opportunities.
What fascinates me about this grid strategy is how perfectly it mirrors wealth-building principles. Just as you can't reach Room 46 without carefully planning your route through the 5x9 grid, you can't build substantial income without strategic financial navigation. I've tracked my actual income against my game performance for two months now, and the correlation is startling - on days when I efficiently reach the Antechamber in the game, I typically make better financial decisions in reality. It's like the game trains your brain to think in terms of opportunity cost and resource allocation.
The most valuable lesson came when I wasted three consecutive steps on dead-end rooms. In financial terms, that was like investing in three different cryptocurrency projects without proper research - complete money drains. But here's the beautiful part: even failed attempts teach you something about the grid's pattern. Similarly, every financial mistake reveals market patterns and personal blind spots. I now maintain that you need about 15-20% of your steps for experimentation - whether in the game or in your income strategy.
Some rooms in the game only connect to specific other rooms, much like how certain income streams naturally lead to others. For instance, my freelance writing work (a straight pathway room) naturally connected to content strategy consulting (a bending room), which then opened doors to digital product creation. Recognizing these natural progressions in the game helped me identify similar patterns in my career. I'd estimate that understanding these connections has boosted my income by approximately 40% over six months.
The limited steps aspect creates this wonderful tension between exploration and efficiency. I've found the sweet spot is using 70% of your steps for proven pathways and 30% for exploration. In practical terms, that means 70% of your income-generating activities should come from reliable sources, while 30% can be allocated to experimental ventures. This balance has helped me consistently reach Room 46 while simultaneously growing my real-world income streams.
What most players don't realize initially is that the grid isn't random - it follows patterns that become recognizable over time. Similarly, income opportunities often follow market patterns and seasonal trends. By playing this game daily, I've trained myself to spot these patterns faster. Last quarter, this skill helped me identify an emerging market trend about 3 weeks before my competitors, resulting in a 28% revenue increase from that particular stream.
The journey to the Antechamber teaches another crucial money lesson: sometimes you need to take what seems like a backward step to ultimately move forward. There are rooms that force you to move downward temporarily before connecting to upward pathways. In business, this might mean taking a pay cut for a better position or investing in education that temporarily reduces earning capacity. I've made three such "backward" moves in my career, and each ultimately led to significantly higher income - the last one resulted in a 60% salary increase within 18 months.
As I write this, I'm looking at my current game session where I've reached the Antechamber with 4 steps to spare - my personal best. In financial terms, that's like achieving your income goals while still having resources (time, energy, capital) left for new opportunities. The satisfaction of seeing that pathway materialize, knowing each room choice contributed to the final success, is exactly how I feel when reviewing my diversified income streams. The game hasn't just entertained me - it's fundamentally changed how I approach income generation, making the process more strategic, more intentional, and frankly, more profitable.
