Since Squid Game landed on Netflix on Sept. 17, it has captured the global imagination. 

In desperate need of cash in the show, 456 contestants compete in dark twists on traditional children’s games. 

The winners walk away with millions; the losers die. 

 Despite its brutal content, it could soon be the most-ever watched original production in the history of the streaming platform.

 More specifically, it speaks to the deepening household debt crisis affecting the lower and middle classes.  In the show about the consequences of bad financial decisions, we’re bound to learn money lessons that we can easily apply in our daily lives.
