This group of educated middle class subscribes to the "diversify" dogma put out by mutual fund brokers and financial plannersThe real tragedy is that the lack of early financial education is what creates the risk faced by average middle class peopleThe reason they have to play it safe is because their financial positions are tenuous at best Their balance sheets are not balancedThey are loaded with liabilities, with no real assets that generate incomeTypically, their only source of income is their paycheckTheir livelihood becomes entirely dependent on their employerSo when genuine "deals of a lifetime" come along, those same people cannot take advantage of the opportunityThey must play it safe, simply because they are working so hard, are taxed to the max, and are loaded with debtAs I said at the start of this section, the most important rule is to know the difference between an asset and a liability Once you understand the chanel jumbo flap difference, concentrate your efforts on only buying income-generating assets That's the best way to get started on a path to becoming rich Keep doing that, and your asset column will growFocus on keeping liabilities and expenses downThis will make more money available to continue pouring into the asset columnSoon, the asset base will be so deep that you can afford to look at more speculative investments Investments that may have returns of 100 percent to infinityInvestments that for $5,000 are soon turned into $1 million or moreInvestments that the middle class calls "too risky The investment is not risky It's the lack of simple financial intelligence, beginning with financial literacy, that causes the individual to be "too risky," If you do what the masses do, you get the following picture Income = Work for Owner Expense = Work for Government Asset = (none) Liability = Work for Bank As an employee who is also a homeowner, your borse louis vuitton working efforts are generally as follows: 1You work for someone else Most people, working for a paycheck, are making the owner, or the shareholders richerYour efforts and success will help provide for the owner's success and retirementYou work for the governmentThe government takes its share from your paycheck before you even see it By working harder, you simply increase the amount of taxes taken by the government - most people work from January to May just for the governmentYou work for the bankAfter taxes, your next largest expense is usually your mortgage and credit card debtThe problem with simply working harder is that each of these three levels takes a greater share of your increased effortsYou need to learn how to have your increased efforts benefit you and your family directlyOnce you have decided to concentrate on minding your own business, how do you set your goals? For most people, they must keep their profession and rely on chanel earings their wages to fund their acquisition of assetsAs their assets grow, how do they measure the extent of their success? When does someone realize that they are rich, that they have wealth? As well as having my own definitions for assets and liabilities, I also have my own definition for wealthActually I borrowed it from a man named Buckminster Fuller Some call him a quack, and others call him a living genius Years ago he got all the architects buzzing because he applied for a patent in 1961 for something called a geodesic domeBut in the application, Fuller also said something about wealth It was pretty confusing at first, but after reading it for awhile, it began to make some sense: Wealth is a person's ability to survive so many number of days forwardor if I stopped working today, how long could I survive? Unlike net worth-the difference between your assets and liabilities, which is often filled with a person's expensive junk and chanel bags pink opinions of what things are worth-this definition creates the possibility for developing a truly accurate measurement I could now measure and really know where I was in terms of my goal to become financially independentAlthough net worth often includes these non-cash-producing assets, like stuff you bought that now sits in your garage, wealth measures how much money your money is making and, therefore, your financial survivabilityWealth is the measure of the cash flow from the asset column compared with the expense columnLet's use an exampleLet's say I have cash flow from my asset column of S"J,000 a monthAnd I have monthly expenses of 52,000What is my wealth? Let's go back to Buckminster Fuller's definitionUsing his definition, how many days forward can I survive? And let's assume a 30-day monthBy that definition, I have enough cash flow for half a monthWhen I have achieved $2,000 a month cash flow from my assets, then I will be black fendi spy weal
