An intelligent adult often feels it is demeaning to pay attention to simplistic definitions Rich dad believed in the KISS principle-"Keep It Simple Stupid"-so he kept it simple for two young boys, and that made the financial foundation strongSo what causes the confusion? Or how could something so simple be so screwed up? Why would someone buy an asset that was really a liabilityThe answer is found in basic educationWe focus on the word "literacy" and not "financial literacy What defines something to be an asset, or something to be a liability are not wordsIn fact, if you really want to be confused, look up the words "asset" and "liability" in the dictionaryI know the definition may sound good to a trained accountant, cartier roadster replica but for the average person it makes no senseBut we adults are often too proud to admit that something does not make senseAs young boys, rich dad said, "What defines an asset is not words but numbersAnd if you cannot read the numbers, you cannot tell an asset from a hole in the ground "In accounting," rich dad would say, "it's not the numbers, but what the numbers are telling youIt's just like wordsIt's not the words, but the story the words are telling youMany people read, but do not understand muchIt's called reading comprehensionAnd we all have different abilities when it comes to reading comprehensionFor example, I recently bought a new VCRIt came with an instruction book that explained how to program the VCRAll I replicas bolsas wanted to do was record my favorite TV show on Friday nightI nearly went crazy trying to read the manualNothing in my world is more complex than learning how to program my VCRI could read the words, but I understood nothingI get an "A" for recognizing the wordsI get an "F" for comprehensionAnd so it is with financial statements for most people"If you want to be rich, you've got to read and understand numbers If I heard that once, I heard it a thousand times from my rich dadAnd I also heard, "The rich acquire assets and the poor and middle class acquire liabilities Here is how to tell the difference between an asset and a liabilityMost accountants and financial professionals do net agree with the definitions, but these simple paolo gucci women's watches drawings were the start of strong financial foundations for two young boysTo teach pre?teen boys, rich dad kept everything simple, using as many pictures as possible, as few words as possible, and no numbers for years "This is the Cash Flow pattern of an asset The above box is an Income Statement, often called a Profit and Loss StatementIt measures income and expensesMoney in and money outThe bottom diagram is the Balance SheetIt is called that because it is supposed to balance assets against liabilitiesMany financial novices don't know the relationship between the Income Statement and the Balance SheetThat relationship is vital to understandThe primary cause of financial struggle is simply not knowing the tiffany heart tag difference between an asset and a liabilityThe cause of the confusion is found in the definition of the two wordsIf you want a lesson in confusion, simply look up the words "asset" and "liability" in the dictionaryNow it may make sense to trained accountants, but to the average person, it may as well be written in MandarinYou read the words in the definition, but true comprehension is difficultSo 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 wordsAn asset is something that puts money in my authentic hermes poc

Money was handed out to government workers and the richIt went to government workers in the form of jobs and pensionsIt went to the rich via their factories receiving government contractsThe government became a large pool of money, but the problem was the fiscal management of that moneyThere really is no recirculationIn other words, the government policy, if you were a government bureaucrat, was to avoid having excess moneyIf you failed to spend your allotted funding, you risked losing it in the next budgetYou would certainly not be recognized for being efficient Business people, on the other hand, are rewarded for having excess money and are recognized for their efficiencyAs this cycle of growing government spending continued, the demand for money increased and the "Tax the rich" idea was now being adjusted to include lower-income levels, down to cheap tiffany's jewelry the very people who voted it in, the poor and the middle classTrue capitalists used their financial knowledge to simply find a way to escapeThey headed back to the protection of a corporationA corporation protects the richBut what many people who have never formed a corporation do not know is that a corporation is not really a thingA corporation is merely a file folder with some legal documents in it, sitting in some attorney's office registered with a state government agencyIt's not a big building with the name of the corporation on itIt's not a factory or a group of peopleA corporation is merely a legal document that creates a legal body without a soulThe wealth of the rich was once again protectedOnce again, the use of corporations became popular-once the permanent income laws were passed- because the income-tax rate of the corporation was less buy chanel bag than the individual income-tax rates In addition, as described earlier, certain expenses could be paid with pre-tax dollars within the corporationThis war between the haves and have-nots has been going on for hundreds of yearsIt is the "Take from the rich" crowd versus the richThe battle is waged whenever and wherever laws are madeThe battle will go on foreverThe problem is, the people who lose are the uninformedThe ones who get up every day and diligently go to work and pay taxesIf they only understood the way the rich play the game, they could play it tooThen, they would be on their way to their own financial independenceThis is why I cringe every time I hear a parent advise their children to go to school, so they can find a safe, secure jobAn employee with a safe, secure job, without financial aptitude, has no escapeAverage Americans today work replica chanel jewelry five to six months for the government before they make enough to cover their taxesIn my opinion, that is a long timeThe harder you work, the more you pay the governmentThat is why I believe that the idea of "Take from the rich" backfired on the very people who voted it inEvery time people try to punish the rich, the rich don't simply comply, they reactThey have the money, power and intent to change thingsThey do not just sit there and voluntarily pay more taxesThey search for ways to minimize their tax burdenThey hire smart attorneys j and accountants, and persuade politicians to change laws or create legal loopholesThey have the resources to effect changeThe Tax Code of the United States also allows other ways to save on taxesMost of these vehicles are available to anyone, but it is the rich who usually look for them because they are minding fake cartier watches their own businessFor example, "1031" is jargon for Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows a seller to delay paying taxes on a piece of real estate
