  1. The Consumer Economy and “Rich Dad. Poor Dad.” What The Wealthy Teach Their Kids About Money That The Poor And Middle Class Don’t.

  2. The Consumer Economy • Continuous growth through continuous consumption. • Most of us define ourselves in terms of: • How much and what we consume. • Our role in the making of what we consume. • Our ability to persuade others to consume. • Its philosophy is spreading throughout the world. • Is it truly satisfying? • “If your reason for becoming rich is to look rich, you will never become rich.”

  3. The Consumer Economy • We are a free country, not necessarily a fair country. We are all free to fail. • We’re being taught to be “Good Employees.” • Go to school • Get good grades • Get a good “JOB” • Work hard • Maintain good credit • So we can consume lots of stuff. • “JOB” for most means “Just Over Broke.” • Should we be taught how to become “Wealthy?”

  4. Most of the following ideas about money and wealth creation are From Robert Kiyosaki and his partner and co-author, Sharon Lechter. I highly recommend that study their writings more deeply on your own.

  5. Financial Intelligence • It is not your boss’ job to make you wealthy or secure. It’s her job to give you a paycheck . . . nothing more. • Making more money will not solve your problem if money management is your problem. • Money is a drug.

  6. Financial Intelligence • Money pushes you around. You will obey money. • Employers/Bosses • Landlords • Bill collectors • Tax collectors • Family and friends • Can you push back? • Are you smarter than your money? • Answer: Do you work for money, or does money work for you?

  7. Financial Intelligence • When money works for you, every dollar is an employee.Each dollar works to bring you even more dollars while you’re asleep. • Passive Income: Interest, dividends, real estate income, royalties, residuals, annuities • Your money can work for you or it most certainly will work for someone else. • “What do you do?” versus “What do you own?” • The key is “What investments do you own that will bring you passive income?”

  8. Financial Intelligence • “Being Rich” versus “Being Wealthy” • Being Rich is about how much money you possess in a specific moment in time. • Being Wealthy is about . . . • how much money you keep • how hard it works for you • how much is left for future generations (who know what to do with it) • Being Wealthy is about exploding your Passive Income. (How long you can survive without ever having to go to work?)

  9. Financial IntelligenceRich Dad. Poor Dad’s Basic Philosophy • Know the difference between an ASSET and a LIABILITY, and only buy assets. • A True Asset gives a positive cash flow each and every month. • Live below your means, while constantly increasing your means. • Make your PASSIVE INCOME cover your Lifestyle Expenses forever.

  10. Financial Literacy • Sadly, most of us have been taught to read words and books, but not numbers andfinancial statements. • Two key personal and business financial statements we all must be able to read. • The Income Statement shows the amount of money coming in and going out. • The Balance Sheet shows the balance of what you own and what you owe.

  35. Systems and Discipline Are The KeyFor All Quadrants • “Am I hauling buckets or building a pipeline?” • Can you make a better hamburger than McDonald’s? Can you build a better system for making hamburgers than McDonald’s? • There are tons of great ideas, but few great systems. • You must also have the disciplineto diligently work the system.

  36. Some Final Thoughts • Risk • It’s risky not to build a business or not to invest. • 9 out of 10 business fail; so I need to fail 9 times. • Money • There are two problems associated with money: You can have too little or too much. • Money comes from inside out, not the outside in. • So, money is an idea, not a thing. Thus, your ideas can create money out of nothing. • You create money in your spare time. Creating ideas and searching for bargain assets. • It’s not how much money you make; it’s about how much you keep.
