As a result, he is overqualified for the jobs he currently has, so his
salary is lower. He now works three jobs to earn enough to survive.
I have watched people playing CASHFLOW complain that the right
opportunity cards are not coming their way. So they sit there. I know
people who do that in real life. They wait for the right opportunity.


I have watched people get the right opportunity card and then
not have enough money. Then they complain that they would have
gotten out of the Rat Race if they had had more money. So they sit

Most people only know one solution: Work hard, save, and
borrow. So why would you want to increase your financial intelligence?
Because you want to be the kind of person who creates your own luck.
You take whatever happens and make it better. Few people realize that
luck is created, just as money is. And if you want to be luckier and
create money instead of working hard, then your financial intelligence
is important. If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the right
