Robert Kiyosaki's board game called “Cash flow” literally makes you play in the rat race till you get enough cash flow(cash flow > expenses) to get on the fast track and become “financially free”.

Isn't the way to get out of the rat race is to have cashflow greater than expenses?

I'm not sure how "we" solve it, I know I'm gonna keep plodding forward like Boxer the horse ;) (reference to your other post) You might break the forum with these two threads lol.

When I do buy a W/D I get a basic work horse model that has the least amount of electrical components to it, simple dial knobs for controls and hopefully a push button to start.

Remember you won't know everything, there is more than one way to get to your goal and it isn't a race.

I got the cart before the horse.

This poor horse has been beaten and beaten and beaten, is now dead 10 times over and buried 20 feet deep!!

Do not give in to the 9- 5 rat race. 

Learn how to buy homes with real money before trying to flip houses with hard-money lenders or syndicate deals for 100 units.Slow and steady will win the race far more times than funding flips with credit cards or cashing out the equity in your personal home to fund investments.

You do not want to end up being one of those that want's out of the "rat race".YOU need to determine what career path you want.
