  • Switch if you hit a cash wall: move to a track with faster income for you.
  • Switch after establishing a base (e.g., music passive income then pivot to politics).

Multi-character strategy

  • Specialize per character: one music, one business, one politics.
  • Stagger Energy: rotate characters to keep acting while others regen.
  • Keep identities clear to avoid confusion in elections and media.
