In Rich
Dad, Poor Dad
(Warner Books, 1997),
Robert Kiyosaki defined financial
freedom simply as
bringing in more money
every month than
you‘re spending. That‘s freedom. If it costs you two thousand
dollars a month to live and you are bringing in five thousand dollars a month,
you‘re financially free.
It’s simply
the hard stuff to make a budget. Be real and write down everything. If you
spend more then you get, then you need to adjust. Even the coffee at your job
needs to be listed. The 5$ you give to the lotto group at your job need to be
listed. Everything you spend need to be listed.
Facing the
truth could become some kind of dramatic experience. Don’t panic, you’ll feel
really good and in control once you realize where you stand with your financial
health.
Take action
in changing what need to be change. You’ll need to choose. Set your spending
according to what you get.
First, you
need to know what you get in. Then you take 10% to place on the side and make
it prosper. It’s more then just a security; it’s your way to become financially
free without the need to work for someone else anymore. This 10% has to be
place in secure investment and prosper.
Second, you
need to calculate what your monthly spending is. If your spending is getting
you over your income, then you need to cut in that.
Most people
will do the contrary. They spend and save what is left. That will never get
them job free and financially free.
