Last semester, our civics class covered economics, including something called the law of comparative advantage. It explains the principles of international trade, talking about relative advantages being higher or lower. I am not a civics teacher, so I will skip the details of comparative advantage here. XD What I want to talk about is that I kept wondering how comparative advantage relates to our everyday lives. Then I realized it can be applied to Happy Aquarium, which is very popular right now! How? Most people, once they have saved enough money, spend it on the newest and most expensive fish. But have you considered that the newest, most expensive fish do not necessarily earn the most? For example:
I now have a budget of 12,000.
I could buy one Yellow Gaoqi Tuna (a fish in the game), and its income is 20*28 (max yield * treasure price)=560.
But with 12,000, I can buy 3 Red Clownfish, and their income is 20183 (max yield * treasure price * number of fish)=1080.
Or I can buy 4 Threadfin Butterflyfish, for a profit of 10304=1200.
This example shows that if you allocate your money well, you can earn a lot in a short time. Happy Farm should also work this way, but I am still researching it, because Happy Farm has more things to consider. As for the aquarium, remember to watch the tank’s capacity and be careful not to buy too many fish.

Anyway, this is what they call putting what you learn to use, right? XD And if you liked it, feel free to leave a comment!
