the general rule is to get appreciating assets..
where by eventually you can live off just the income/rental/commission/interest/deflation growth, of the asset without having to sell/dispose/lose the underlying assets principal
once you get to a certain level of comfort and sustained profit from the untouched asset. you then start investing in your offsprings future to get to their goals
your home is not an asset if its on a mortgage(+repairs, insurances, county taxes) as costs outweight appreciation
cars are not an asset(cars depreciate)
the dream of future appreciation when paid off/becomes "a classic" does not mean its currently an asset if its costing you/losing you value right now
if you have a house paid in full and it appreciates more then ongoing costs. then you have an asset
if or if not appreciating above cost but you rent it to cover its maintenance/county tax/insurance costs so that you get more back than you put in
then its an asset
a business is not an asset if it requires your presence each day and doesnt even break even with your involvement/time.
a business is an asset if even after costs of delegating labour to operate it without you, the business profits/self sustainable
when you get assets, never sell the asset principal. just live on, or use the profit/income/interest gain from the asset to grow more asset
those accounting gibberish, no matter how many times I go through it, it was nothing but a filler to the book that provide nothing of values, that is also true for a lot of accounting online classes you could learn from internet, accounting os itself an art of deceiving, anyone who read it and try to master this art become so delusional their brain could bot function normally and they eventually crave self-harm, just look at tim cook and his views of inventory is fundamentally toxic, every damn accountant are behave just the same they crave deflating instead of expanding. in the other word vulture behavior that is all about extracting values, provider hunting, or back stabbing, whichever you liken.
Ok, richdad poordad is about getting out of school and get a hold of your finance, get out of rat race and leave the cage, but what else to do after you had made it? I do not like richdad poordad for not having a complete guide, they just stop right at the middle of nowhere, and left the rest to the reader to figure them out...
I don't think there is a book that contains a complete guide to financial independence. Each author will present his views based on his own studies or personal experience. You have the responsibility of researching more to cover up lapses in a book or to gain more information. It is not all the information that Robert Kiyosaki gave out in that book that I practice because some of them might not suit my condition.
I means there must be a guide or something after you get near to the point of retirement, btw in his book, he just roughly get through it, he describe himself after he sold his business, and he reach where he think is the hardest thing to do in his life, he couldnt get busy in life, and do not know how to proceed, but there is nothing else in the book except he say he have no answer to that part of his life.
The content of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad is mainly the author's personal experience of his two fathers. He might not have sound knowledge about retirement since he has not gotten much information or experience on the topic. I think a retiree would be the best author to write on retirement. Robert Kiyosaki is not a master of all but there there are many books on retirement that could be helpful.
I could find some missing pieces all over the internet, but due to my limited knowledges also language/grammar barriers, I had a hard time to convey the ideas presented, dont get me wrong there is probably puzzling tweets during the span of 2018 to 2021 that I had totally no ideas how they even quote those tweets, I mean both logically or illogically, I still looking at them now and couldn't get a clue of them, totally no ideas how they could benefit financially from their tweets. richdad poordad did a good job by compilating some of the very difficult knowledge into layman terms, I wonder if there isnt richdad poordad handbook to be read, we would still doing exactly what the rat race doing, and escalating wars that go far beyond!
