Even now we are thinking of starting a Cashflow playing club only for grown ups. Win or lose, playing the game of Cashflow is always very good fun. Our son became rather good playing the game as well. Over time winning became hard to predict as John and I were experimenting with different wealth building strategies. John was the first to get out of the rat race, though. I won largely because of luck since I landed on my dream and had enough money to buy it.
We also had specified corresponding levels of expenses. We had different incomes: our son’s income was the highest and John’s the lowest. In the first game we played, John was a truck driver, our son was a lawyer and I was a teacher. Getting out the rat race places you on the ‘fast track’ and the game is won by either landing on your dream (which players select at the beginning) or by generating $50,000 passive income on top of the starting amount (starting for the fast track which is 100 times your passive income that got you out of the rat race). Just like in life, one gets out of the ‘rat race’ when their monthly expenses are lower than their monthly passive income or, put differently, when they have become ‘financially independent’.

This tells me he knows a thing or two about money, how to make it, keep it and grow it.) (I’ll take this one under advisement but the guy is still worth approximately $80 million.
We bought Cashflow, the game invented by Robert Kiyosaki and, reputedly, based on his experience of ‘getting out of the rat race’. Hence our choice to buy the game of Cashflow hopefully starts to make sense.
You will never get out of it alive.’Īdd to the equation having a young son who still wanted, and needed, to play with us. Several years back, John and I realised that we have started taking life far too seriously. Playing the Cash flow game: this is how it all started Here are the money lessons we learned from playing the Cash flow game and may these continue serving us well into the future. (Some of these strategies have translated into building real life wealth.) We, the grown ups, used playing the Cash flow game as a sandpit where we practiced different strategies for building wealth. Our son, for instance, learned all about the ‘rat race’, taking risk, saving your money and not incurring many dodads. We used the Cash flow board game differently. We are still better at playing the ‘real game of wealth’. We taught him well to play the Cash flow game. We have the game, we played it when our son was young and we play it now when he wins nearly every time.
