Having an idea of what you want to achieve, manage your money wisely, not waste money and stay true to your credo - for a rich man, these are not just words, but life principles. But to the poor man they seem like an empty set of platitudes. But it’s worth trying to put these tips into practice, as life will turn 180 °.
In the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, the financial reality is reflected through history, where the author assures that, despite his excellent academic skills, his financial education was not sufficient. He also states that success can be achieved only with the help of thoughts, actions and ideas.
All this story begins with the fact that two best friends (one of them is rich and the other poor), decided to find a way to make money. The poor father advised them to continue their studies so that in the future they would get a job with a good salary. Rich father also recommended continuing his studies, but emphasized that it was important to have an idea of other aspects of financial matters, since this was not taught at school. And rich dad invited the guys to teach them how to make money.
The rich do not work for salaries
Do not work for a salary and do not be afraid to invest. The author criticizes the excessive interest of many in obtaining money, rather than focusing on education. Invest in yourself, in your favorite business, in business development.
What matters is how much money you saved, not how much you earned.
The biggest financial problem is when liabilities exceed assets, when debts exceed profits. We see this problem on a daily basis, and its reason is not to manage revenue properly.
Many people work for others all their lives.
From a young age, it is important to be able to realize your financial ideas. The author calls not to live for others, not to work for your boss, but to work for you.
Strong one with knowledge
Financial knowledge is necessary in order to own a large company and protect these assets. There are 4 pillars on which this knowledge stands: accounting, investment, market knowledge and law.
Despite all the basic knowledge gained at school, the specialty acquired at the institute and the talent it possesses, intellectual knowledge is fundamental.
The rich don't throw money away
Perhaps this is the main difference in the thinking of the poor and the rich. There are many things that wealthy people do not pay attention to, and the poor are ready for them to even take loans.
A rich man knows the value of money and understands its value, and thanks to the rejection of stupid spending, he increases his wealth.
