"Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities,
but they think they are assets"
...
As your cash flow grows, you can buy some luxuries. An important
distinction is that rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle
class tend to buy luxuries first. The poor and the middle class often buy luxury
items such as big houses, diamonds, furs, jewelry or boats because they want to
look rich. They look rich, but in reality they just get deeper in debt on credit.
The old-money people, the long-term rich, built their asset column first.
Then,
the income generated from the asset column bought their luxuries. The poor and
middle class buy luxuries with their own sweat, blood and children's inheritance.Актив остаётся активом, даже если не приносит дохода
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 know. If you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assets. If you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilities.
One believed, "Our home is our largest investment and our greatest asset."
The other believed, "My house is a liability, and if your house is your largest investment, you're in trouble."
What defines
something to be an asset, or something to be a liability are not words. In fact,
if you really want to be confused, look up the words "asset" and "liability" in
the dictionary. I know the definition may sound good to a trained accountant,
but for the average person it makes no sense.

"In accounting," rich dad would say, "it's not the numbers, but what the
numbers are telling you. It's just like words. It's not the words, but the story
the words are telling you.
речь идёт об активах, т.е. капитале и имуществеНу вы намутили :)
The real tragedy is that the lack of early financial education is what creates the risk faced by average middle class people. The reason they have to play it safe is because their financial positions are tenuous at best. Their balance sheets are not balanced. They are loaded with liabilities, with no real assets that generate income.«Богатый берёт в кредит мегавнедорожник — получает понты (которые, несомненно, продают) и, как ни крути — удобство, после чего под залог мегавнедорожника берёт другой кредит, который уже пускает в оборот — покупает товар для магазина, сырьё для завода и т.д.»Для меня это тоже прозрение, спасибо. Понты в кредит, чтобы не отвечать по этому кредиту ничем кроме этих самых понтов — это хорошая придумка.
