@@@@@
So as I said earlier, my rich dad simply told two young boys that “assets put money in your pocket Nice, simple and usable

“This is Cash Flow pattern of a liability

Now that assets and liabilities have been defined through pictures, it may be easier to understand my definitions in words
An asset is something that puts money in my pocket
A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket
This is really all you need to knowIf you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assetsIf you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilitiesIt’s not knowing the difference that causes most of the financial struggle in the real world
Illiteracy, both in words and numbers, is the foundation of financial struggleIf people are having difficulties financially, there is something that they cannot read, either in numbers or wordsSomething is misunderstoodThe rich are rich because they are more literate in different areas than people who struggle financially So if you want to be rich and maintain your wealth, it’s important to be financially literate, in words as well as numbers
The arrows in the diagrams represent the flow of cash, or “cash flow Numbers alone really mean littleJust as words alone mean littleIt’s the story that countsIn financial reporting, reading numbers is looking for the plot, the storyThe story of where the cash is flowingIn 80 percent of most families, the financial story is a story of working hard in an effort to get ahead Not because they don’t make moneyBut because they spend their lives buying liabilities instead of assets
For instance, this is the cash flow pattern of a poor person, or a young person still at home:

Job (provides income)-> Expenses(Taxes Food Rent Clothes Fun Transportation)
Asset (none)
Liability (none)

This is the cash flow pattern of a person in the middle class:

Job (provides income)-> Expenses(Taxes Food Mortgage Clothes Fun Transportation)
Asset (none)
Liability (Mortgage Consumer loans Credit Cards)

This is the cash flow pattern of a wealthy person:

Assets(stocks bonds notes real estate intellectual property)->income (dividends interest rental income royalties)
Liabilities (none)

All of these diagrams were obviously oversimpli

@@@@@After he had done all his due diligence and now it was put up or shut up, he told us this story Every time he was afraid of making a mistake, or losing money, he told us this storyIt gave him strength, for it reminded him that he could always turn a financial loss into a financial winRich dad I knew that failure would only make him stronger and smarterIt’s not that! he wanted to lose; he just knew who he was and how he would take a lossHe would take a loss and make it a winThat’s what made him a winner and others losersIt gave him the courage to cross the line when others backed out”That’s why I like Texans so muchThey took a great failure and turned it into a tourist destination that makes them millions
But probably his words that mean the most to me today are these: “Texans don’t bury their failuresThey get inspired by themThey take i their failures and turn them into rallying criesFailure inspires Texans to ‘ become winnersBut that formula is not just the formula for TexansIt j is the formula for all winners
Just as I also said that falling off my bike was part of learning to rideI remember falling off only made me more determined to learn to rideI also said that I have never met a golfer who has never lost a ballTo be a top professional golfer, losing a ball or a tournament only inspires golfers to be better, to practice harder, to study moreThat’s what makes them betterFor winners, losing inspires themFor losers, losing defeats themRockefeller, “I always tried to turn every disaster ‘ into an opportunity

“I’ve heard they’ve got a high shoe coming in soon like a paratrooper’s bootIt’ll do away with leggings
Red rubbed his chinHe had not shaved since the patrol had begun and his beard was blond and rather splotchy”We’ll never see any of them,” Red told him, “the fuggin quartermaster’ll keep ‘em allOf all the men in the platoon, Red was the one worth buddying with, the wise oneOnly you couldn’t approach him

“We’re short a corporal; two, now that Stanley’s with WilsonYou want to be acting jack for the rest of the patrol? And we can make it permanent when we get back It was a good choiceRed was popular with the men, could certainly handle the thing
But he felt slightly embarrassed by the expressionless cast Red’s face assumed”Are you ordering me, Lootenant?” Red’s voice was flat, a little harsh
Now, what had set him off? “No, of course not
Red scratched his arm slowlyHe felt suddenly and disproportionately enraged, even noticed it himself by the indirect worry it caused him for an instant
“I don’t want no favors,” he muttered
“I’m not offering you any

Now I had memoryIt was no longer in perfect
working order, and to this day I sometimes get
confused about names and the order in which
certain things happened, but every moment of our
expedition to the house at the south end of Duma
933
Key remains clear in my mind – like the first
movie that ever amazed me or the first painting
that ever took my breath away (The Hailstorm, by
Thomas Hart Benton)Yet at first I felt cold,
divorced from it all, like a slightly jaded patron
of the arts looking at a picture in a second-rate
museumIt wasn’t until Jack found the doll inside
the staircase going up to nowhere that I started
to realize I was in the picture instead of just
looking at itAnd that there was no going back
for any of us unless we could stop herI knew she
was strong; if she could reach all the way to
Omaha and Minneapolis to get what she wanted, then
all the way to Providence to keep it, of course
she was strongAnd still I underestimated her
Until we were actually in that house at the south
end of Duma Key, I didn’t realize how strong Perse
was

I wanted Jack to drive, and Wireman to sit in the
back seatWhen Wireman asked why, I said I had my
reasons, and I thought they’d become apparent in

short order”And if I’m wrong about that,” I
added, “no one will be any more delighted than
me
Jack backed onto the road and turned southMore
out of curiosity than anything else, I punched on
the radio and was rewarded with Billy Ray Cyrus,
bellowing about his achy breaky heartJack
groaned and reached for it, probably meaning to
find The BoneBefore he could, Billy Ray was
swallowed in a burst of deafening static
“Jesus, turn it off!” Wireman yelped
But first I turned it downReducing the volume
made no differenceIf anything, the static grew
louderI could feel it rattling the fillings of
my teeth, and I punched the OFF button before my
eardrums could start bleeding
“What was that?” Jack asked
“Call it bad environment, why don’t you,” I said
“A little something left over from those Army Air
