A recommended starting build to get a hang for the game is make your founder's two '''personality''' traits "Optimistic" and "Generous". The sliders on the bottom left can be left untouched for now, those will be explained shortly.

Now on the right, you should increase starting money to $20,000 or one notch up if you are playing with a different currency (Yes you can change currency in options). Starting year is fine at 1980, but you should change the difficulty to "Easy" while you learn the game.

Finally, the number of days in a month might seem odd. Simply put, if you leave it at the default 1 day per "Month", every day that goes by will be equivalent to a month on the in-game calendar. You can increase this if you like, most people play with 4 days in a month, but it just affects how quickly time moves and is a matter of preference. Leave it at 1 or 2 for now.
