[Omar Ruiz]

This group is for those who want to learn about investing and grow their skills in investing and finance by playing the game “Cashflow” created by Robert Kiyosaki. We welcome all levels of players from beginners to advance. The group is headed by active real estate investors and property managers. You’ll have fun and make new friends while you learn.

Cashflow 101 is an educational board game designed by Robert Kiyosaki, which aims to teach the players concepts of investing by having their money work for them in a risk free setting (play money) while simultaneously increasing their financial literacy and stressing self accountability.

There are two stages to the game. In the first, "the rat race", players aim to raise his or her character's passive income level to where it exceeds their expenses; this is when cashflow from investments pay your monthly expenses as opposed to your salary. The winner is determined in the second stage, "the fast track". To win, a player must get his or her character to buy their "dream" or accumulate an additional $50,000 in monthly cash flow.

In place of "score cards", there are financial statements. The game requires the players to fill out their own financial statements so that they can see more clearly what is happening with their money. It generally shows how assets generate income and demonstrates that liabilities and 'doodads' are expenses.
