Assets and liabilities -Robert Kiyosaki

In 1997, when I released Rich Dad, Poor Dad, that book caused a bit of an upset because I said your house is not an asset. In today's world, if you want to be rich, you have to know the difference between assets versus liabilities. One of the reasons so many people are struggling financially today is simply because they're calling their liabilities assets, such as your house is not asset, your car is not asset, and things like that.
Very simply, when I was a young boy, my rich dad taught me. He says, "You have to understand a financial statement." This is an income statement. This is a balance sheet. Now this is overly simplified. He says what creates something to be an asset is very simply assets cashflow money into your pocket. Liability takes money from your pocket. For most people, their houses are not assets. They're liabilities because every month it takes money to live in that house.
Even those who say, "Well, I don't have any debt on my house. I've paid it off." Look, you still have insurance. You still have upkeep. You still have maintenance.
Let's me explain this. If this is a house and I rent the house out, and every month it's putting money in my pocket, more than my expenses, then that house is an asset. Now that very same house, if it goes unrented or somebody trashes it or whatever they do, that very same house can be a liability. A house can be an asset or a liability, depending upon the most important word in business. It's called cashflow.
Once again, if cash flows into your pocket, it's an asset. If cash flows out, it's a liability. I'm not saying don't buy a house. I'm just saying don't call a liability an asset. And that's what makes the Rich Dad Company different.
