"People who are rich outside are not rich". What do you mean by "being rich outside"?

Reading the book "Rich Dad and Poor Dad" suddenly reminds me of a sentence my mother told us when I was a child, "A horse without night grass is not fat, and a man without external wealth is not rich". At that time, it was still relatively small, and I didn't understand what this foreign money meant, but it was definitely not stolen. This is the concept of wealth that mother taught us. Now we understand this foreign money, that is, whether people have other sources of income besides working to earn a salary. Technically, you need to buy or own assets that can continuously generate cash flow. I don't work for money, and I want money to work for me, which is exactly the reason.

There is also a sentence in the book, "The difference between poverty and bankruptcy is that bankruptcy is temporary, while poverty is permanent", which is similar to the old saying of China that "save the poor if you are in emergency". Without the concept of wealth, knowledge and skills are not enough. Many parents educate their children to study hard at school and get a degree from an early age in order to find a good job with high salary. Become a professional doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc. And master all kinds of knowledge and skills so that they can be skillfully used in their work, but ignore the training of financial management skills. So, if you have time, you can read this book, and you may have different views and feelings to understand how Robert Toru Kiyosaki realizes financial freedom.
