There is one book that almost all real estate investors have read and that’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. That book alone has given so many people the drive to think about money differently and strive to gain emancipation from their 9-5 jobs.

I, myself have read the book several times. Believe it or not, I have had the book in my possession since 2000. Had I read it sooner, I probably would be a millionaire by now, but I’m not going to dwell on that.

Instead, I want to turn my focus to the game that kind of goes with the book. It’s called Cash Flow. It’s literally Monopoly and the game is Life in one.

I started playing it online at richdad.com in 2018 and I could not figure out how the game worked at all and I was always the last one out of the rat race.

However, in 2019, it finally clicked and I knew exactly what I was doing wrong. I wasn’t educating myself enough to be a well rounded investor and therefore would often make bad deals and lose money or I was buying stocks high so when it was time to sell, I was losing money or I wasn’t taking risks and missing out on deals because I didn’t want to be in more debt.

Today, I play the game as a reminder to keep pushing. So when I’m bored or I’m feeling stuck on something, that is my go to game.

If you are reading this, I encourage you to play the game. You can play alone or with other players. I suggest playing solo first so you can take your time and read the cards.

If you do decide to play, I’d love to hear about your experience. Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.
