One of rich dad’s most important lessons was, “You have to make a surplus an expense.” What he meant is that most people view a surplus of money as an asset. They place their extra cash in the bank or they spend it on liabilities.
My poor dad, my birth father, suggested I go back to school and get my Master’s degree. My rich dad suggested I take a real estate investment course so I could one day become a professional investor. Undecided, I chose to do both. I flew for the Marines during the day to pay the bills and began an MBA program at night.

The Rich Dad way to budget. Building and maintaining a budget is an essential element of personal finance success. It is the roadmap for your finances. Most financial experts make budgeting all about balancing your income and your expenses.
Rich Dad defines a liability as something that takes money out of your pocket. You can see the dilemma. Most people (and bankers) would consider their Mercedes an asset because it has value. However, I would list the Mercedes as a liability because it takes money out of your pocket every month.
As we mentioned in the previous section on budgeting, cash flow is income that comes without you working for it from an asset like an investment property, a business, a product like a book, etc. It is called passive income, and it is the lowest taxed income; it is steady and reliable.
First, you list your income (all the money that you earn) and your expenses (every bill you pay for in a certain period of time). Most budgets break down your income and expenses on a monthly basis. Next, the experts suggest you make cuts to your expenses until you have a balanced budget.
Ordinary income. This includes money you work for such as wages, tips, salaries, and commission from your job or business. Portfolio income. Portfolio income includes profits from the sale of any investments. These are also called capital gains which include the sale of stocks, businesses, and real estate.
The reason Kim and I paid ourselves first is because we needed that money to purchase assets that provided more and more passive income each month.
Personal finance is about more than managing your money so you can meet your financial goals. Rich Dad defines personal finance as the path to financial freedom.

This article is an excerpt from the Shortform summary of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Shortform has the world's best summaries of books you should be reading.
One of the first Rich Dad, Poor Dad lessons is that the rich don’t get rich merely by being paid higher salaries (though this is a great help). They get rich by owning things that make them more money.
Meanwhile, they minimize their spending on Expenses and buying Liabilities, to have more money to buy more Assets. People who don’t become rich either spend all their income on expenses, or buy liabilities that increase their expenses but don’t add income.
Guts, chutzpah, balls, daring, tenacity, grit are different names for the factor that plays a huge role in success. Fear: Fear of losing makes you play it safe and avoid opportunities that can have huge upsides and relatively low downsides. Laziness: Counterintuitively, busy people are often the most lazy.
