We have found that saving money is much easier if you cut back on the big ticket life expenses, the “status symbols.”

earning more money >>> savingscrimping and saving is over-rated imo. especially if it involves a lot of energy (i.e. researching something simple you're gonna buy to save a few bucks...just like a blender for example) or time. you can only focus so much energy a day on things. can't save your way to wealth.not saying you shouldn't try to save here and there, but limit it to the most important big ticket items, or things you buy repeatedly. otherwise it's overrated imo

Go on the "World Blockchain Conference" website, coming up in Dubai, and try to buy tickets.

After my first two years, I had three credit cards - two that I swapped back and forth between using regularly to pay for basics like gas and food, and a third that I held on to for big expenses (car repairs, plane tickets, etc.).

If you are on a budget, you don't have to factor in large ticket repair items if you rent. 

Real estate is not a lottery ticket.

They treat their purchase more like a lottery ticket.

Millenials on down also know that hard work for someone else in and of itself isn't a ticket anywhere, something the boomers that Kiyosaki was originally writing for did not experience until the very tail end of their careers with the Great Recession.  

We had a hotel in Times Square, tickets for Broadway shows and a statue crown tour.

So I think the more property bought, rehab d, sold and dine again and again is the ticket to wealth.
