    @@@@@ So as I said earlier, my rich dad simply
    @@@@@
    So 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 words
    An asset is something that puts money in my pocket
    A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket
    This is really all you need to knowIf you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assetsIf you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilitiesIt's not knowing the difference that causes most of the financial struggle in the real world
    Illiteracy, both in words and numbers, is the foundation of financial struggleIf people are having difficulties financially, there is something that they cannot read, either in numbers or wordsSomething is misunderstoodThe rich are rich because they are more literate in different areas than people who struggle financially So if you want to be rich and maintain your wealth, it's important to be financially literate, in words as well as numbers
    The arrows in the diagrams represent the flow of cash, or "cash flow Numbers alone really mean littleJust as words alone mean littleIt's the story that countsIn financial reporting, reading numbers is looking for the plot, the storyThe story of where the cash is flowingIn 80 percent of most families, the financial story is a story of working hard in an effort to get ahead Not because they don't make moneyBut because they spend their lives buying liabilities instead of assets
    For instance, this is the cash flow pattern of a poor person, or a young person still at home:

    Job (provides income)-> Expenses(Taxes Food Rent Clothes Fun Transportation)
    Asset (none)
    Liability (none)

    This is the cash flow pattern of a person in the middle class:

    Job (provides income)-> Expenses(Taxes Food Mortgage Clothes Fun Transportation)
    Asset (none)
    Liability (Mortgage Consumer loans Credit Cards)

    This is the cash flow pattern of a wealthy person:

    Assets(stocks bonds notes real estate intellectual property)->income (dividends interest rental income royalties)
    Liabilities (none)

    All of these diagrams were obviously oversimpli

    @@@@@The way a bunch of ants would kill each other, he thoughtHe trotted after the other men, and walked moodily beside them through the coconut grove and along the trailThe liquor was wearing off for all of them, and they were silentHe stumbled over a root, and swore, and then without any relation to what they had been talking about, he muttered, "There damn sure ain't anything special about a man if he can smell as bad as he does when he's dead

    Back at 2d Battalion, Wyman had just wounded an insectIt was a long hairy caterpillar with black and gold coloring, and he had jabbed a twig into its bodyThe caterpillar began to run about in circles and then flopped over on its backIt was struggling desperately to right itself until Wyman held his burning cigarette near the insect's backThe insect writhed, and lay prostrate again, its back curled into an L and its legs thrashing helplessly in the airIt looked as if it were trying desperately to breathe
    Ridges had watched this with displeasure, his long dumpy face wrinkled in a scowl"That ain't the right way to treat a bug," he said
    Wyman was absorbed in the convulsions of the insect, and the interruption irritated himHe felt a trace of shame"What do you mean, Ridges? What the hell's so important about a bug?"
    "Shoot," Ridges sighed, " ' tain't doin' you no harmJus' mindin' its own business
    Wyman turned to Goldstein"The preacher's gettin' all excited over a bug He laughed sarcastically, and then said, "Killin' one of Gawd's creatures, huh?"
    Goldstein shrugged"Every man has his own viewpoint," he said gently
    Ridges lowered his head stubbornly"Not sayin' 'tain't hard to make fun of a man if he believes in the written Word
    "You eat meat, don't ya?" Wyman demandedHe was pleased to have the better arguments, for usually he felt inferior to most of the men in the squad"Where the hell's it say you can eat meat but you can't kill a bug?"

    up again to read the article: It can now be announced, planning and
    preparations being complete, that Atlanta will be graced on January
    6th
    next with a Carnival sure to rival the magnificence of New Orleans'

    Panov did not precisely subscribe to the admonition, but there were times when he felt it had
    socially interactive validityThis might be one of themSo, somewhat out of breath he approached
    the opened passenger window of the red automobileHe looked inside at the woman driver, a
    platinum blonde in her mid-thirties with an overly made-up face and large breasts encased in

    But I couldn'tI was like a bird hypnotized by a
    snakeThe best I could do was to take one numb
    step backward into the living roomNow I was in the shadows
    againIt stood in the kitchen doorway with the
    white light of the fluorescents striking across
    its damp and rotted face and throwing its shadow
    across the living room carpetI
    considered closing my eyes and trying to wish it
    away, but that wasn't going to work; I could smell
    it, like a Dumpster behind a restaurant that
    specializes in fish dinnersAnd -
    "Time to go, Edgar
    834
    - it could talk, after allThe words were slushy
    but understandable
    It took a step into the living roomI took
    another of my numb steps backward, knowing in my
    heart it would do no good, that compensation
    wasn't enough, that when it got tired of playing
    it would simply dart forward and clamp that iron
    manacle on my wrist and drag me, screaming, down
    to the water, down to the caldo largo, and the
    last sound I'd hear on the living side would be
    the grating conversation of the shells under the
    houseThen the water would fill my ears
    I took another step back just the same, not sure I
    was even moving toward the door, only hoping, then
    anotherand a hand fell on my shoulder

    "What the fuck is that thing?" Wireman whispered
    in my ear
    "I don't know," I said, and I was sobbingLook out at the
    Gulf, WiremanI don't dare take my eyes off it
    But the thing in the doorway had seen Wireman now
    - Wireman who'd come in through the open door just
    as it had itself, Wireman who had arrived like the
    cavalry in a John Wayne Western - and had stopped
    three steps inside the living room, its head
    slightly lowered, the manacle swinging back and
    forth from its outstretched arm
    "Christ," Wireman said"That ship! The one in the
    paintings!"
    "Go on," the thing said"We have no business with
    youGo on, and you may live
    "It's lying," I said
    "Tell me something I don't know," Wireman said,
