Few years back I saw a movie with this title, and started a game about it at my forum. We had lots of fun with it, maybe it would be enjoyable for you girls/guys here, as well. Since then, I see versions of this game all over on Instagram, and other social platforms, so it is may not new to you.
I like the story version of the game; I tell a short story, then I give a choice of two possibilities. If you play, you have to choose one of the two, you cannot say "both" or "neither", then there is a short explanation expected about why you've chosen one over the other.
There is NO WRONG ANSWER, since the game is not about solving problems, no spoiler needed, and it is not timed (in the meaning, that you can join in at any time, and answer previous questions, at any time. The questions can be silly, gory, or otherwise entertaining. It is also a great way to learn a bit about each other.
Here I come:
Jim and Joe are working together at a local slaughterhouse. Jim is butcher, Joe is responsible for packaging. They occasionally have a drink together after work and talk about work. One day Jim asks Joe: "So, we never talk about 
, how is your doing?" Joe replies: "Don't ask! Two months ago I went through a messy divorce. My wife took everything from me, and I even have to pay alimony. I barely have enough left for myself to get by. We had a large house, a nice SUV, a small fishing boat, life was good. She only left me with the small boat, because she didn't like anything to do with water. Since the divorce I live on my boat, it is tiny, smells like fish, I usually take shower at work. Sometimes, when it is very windy, my little boat is rocking like hell, I wake up nauseated. I hope it is temporary, but I don't have too much hope. So what's up with you and your ?" Jim lets out a big sigh: "Oooh.. I'm somewhat in the same situation like you. I lived with my girlfriend at her parents mansion. One day I've proposed, but for my biggest surprise Jeannie turned me down, and broke up with me. I spent all my money and savings on her, eating out, partying, and a like. The only thing I had my little old sedan when I had to leave her house. Since then, I live in my car, I could manage to pay for a gym membership so I could take a hot shower. My car is small I cannot even stretch out, I wake up beaten every morning. Life sucks!" With this the two buddies lifted their mugs and fall into silence, probably contemplating on just how miserable life they live.

So in a given situation would you rather live out of your boat, or your car?
I'd go the car. You can move it if you need, and carry shopping. AND..it doesn't smell of fish or make you seasick!!!
..I would rather fullfill my biggest dream..(to own my own house, even with a mortgage instead of renting)...as that would solve my biggest regret..(the decisions I made that meant I lost the one I once had)
