The Path To Financial Freedom - A Summary of Cash Flow Quadrantby Robert Kiyosaki E-mail: info@scythian.biz Website: www.scythian.biz
The World Is Awash With Money • Every day $1.4 trillion criss-cross the globe looking for a home • That is $1,400,000,000,000 !!! • There is a ton of money waiting for excellent opportunities • If a country, a corporation or an individual knows how to take care of money, money will continue to flow to it
The Debt Trap • The Bank: “Your house is an asset” • But, an asset on whose balance sheet? Theirs of course! • An ASSET puts money in your pocket • A LIABILITY takes money out of your pocket • The name of the game of capitalism is: “Who is indebted to whom?” • The more people you are indebted to, the poorer you are. The more people you have indebted to you, the wealthier you are. • The average American gets a credit card immediately after school and will be in debt until death • We are all indebted to someone else. The problem occurs when the debt gets out of balance.
Be the Bank, not the Banker • “Be careful of money’s addictive power. Once you get used to receiving it, that addiction keeps you attached to the way you got it” • Most people struggle financially because they spend their lives using opinions rather than facts when making financial decisions • Expenses always rise to meet income. • It is not about how much money you make, but how much you keep and how long that money works for you
Discipline Gets You Out Of the Debt Trap • Of your income, remember, the first 10% is yours to keep • That is, keep it aside and don’t touch it • With the remainder pay your normal expenses • You will quickly be forced to cut some expenses, but will get used to it • With the extra money do the following: • Decide to run all your expenses on one credit card • Never spend more on the card than what you can pay in that month • Pay the minimum payment every month plus pay your 10% into that single credit card each month • Keep paying until the card is paid off • Then start the process with the next card and then the next debt • Most people can be debt-free within 5-7 years if they stay disciplined
