Game Night

It’s Friday night, and your friend invites you and others for game night. Immediately I think back to my college days were I would spend hours playing Uno and Phase 10. This time around however, my friend who owns Adia’s Empowerment Connections invites me to play this game call Cash Flow 101. I honestly, up until that point, have never heard of that game and had no idea what it entailed. She asked if I had read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, and I said yes of course. The author of the book, Robert Kiyosaki, created the Cash Flow 101 game to teach individuals wealth building principles and strategies on getting out of the “rat race”. It is a spin-off of the book. I did my research and found out that there is a trend among the upwardly mobile population coming together in groups to play this game. I said to her I am up for anything to get me out of the rat race!

I had so much fun playing this game, the best way I can explain this game is that Monopoly is hot dogs and Cash Flow 101 is the steak. There are so many principles that I have learn from this game that I am applying to my life. It’s is an investment in which you build a network of friends who are like-minded and can help support you on the journey to financial freedom. I tell so many people about the game and they become all exited. When I tell them about the price however, they frown. Yes, this board game is expensive, it cost about $200, but you wouldn’t think twice about buying a Nintendo Wii now would you?

Aspire. Create. Develop.
