Excerpt from Robert Kiyosaki's "How Do I Get Started - 12 Steps to Getting Out of the Rat Race."

 

"Research shows that American’s biggest fear is running out of money...and never even being able

to ‘retire.’ Millions of people today are working hard – but losing the game.

  

One reason they are losing the game is because many people are simply avoiding the game.

And if they are in the game, investing their retirement plans, many are not achieving high returns

because they are diversifi ed in one asset class, primarily paper assets, which means they lack the

synergies between asset classes. Added to that, too many people turn their hard-earned money

over to the government in the form of excessive taxes or to total strangers who pay themselves

fi rst, and may or may not return their money to them when they need it.

 

Are you buried in credit card debt? Staying awake nights worried about how you’ll pay all of your bills?Tired of living paycheck to paycheck? What quarter of the Game of Money are you in? What can you do– starting today – to win the game and start living?

 

The Best Part of Playing the Game...

One bit of wisdom gained from playing the game rather than playing it safe... The best part about

playing the game of money, regardless of whether you’re winning or losing, is that you get better at the

game. Your scores will improve! Unfortunately, too many people will ultimately lose the Game of

Money simply because they have spent their lives avoiding losing. Instead of playing the game to

win, too many people have played the game of playing not to lose.

As you decide to take control over your money and invest it yourself, rather than turning it over to

strangers, these are important points about the game:

• Losing is part of winning

• The more you play the better you get

• The better you get the better your team gets

• The better your team gets the more you enjoy the game

• The more you enjoy the game, the better your chances for improving your score

 

Rich dad said, “The Game of Money is not really about money. It is about how well you play the

game.”
