Feeling bored and dull? Wanted to play something challenging? Worried about your personal finance?

Why don’t you try to play Cashflow Online Games created by the best-selling author of Rich Dad and Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki? I guess while we are in the mood of independence and freedom, playing a financial games like this might free you from the burden of the financial illiteracy as well:

If you ever read any of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, you know that one of Robert Kiyosaki business is the educational program that he called Cashflow, where people learned about personal finance by playing a board game. Ever since I read that book last five years or so, I’ve been itching to play the games and I pray that the game will be available online for free.

It is now available, and yes, it is FREE.

All you need to do is register with the website: Cashflow Online Games, verified your email address and boom! Play the game. Your objective is to exit the rat-race as soon as possible and jump into the fast-lane to richness; whoever that reach the goal first will win. You can play this game by yourself, or versus the computer, or versus the other online player as well.

Warning: This game is a Flash-based game and it consumes quite a high volume of bandwidth. Ensure that your network is stable and fast enough. Dial-up users are not recommended to play this game. Broadband users can still play this game, but I’m not recommending you to play with other player (since your side will be too slow to load other person’s action).

Playing this game will not make you rich overnight, but if you’re looking for a fun way to learn all those dreaded financial statements, or personal financial issues, or how to be rich and stay rich the capitalist way; this is the game for you. It teaches you about income versus expenses, assets versus liabilities, good deals, bad deals, real estates deals, business deals, as well as the stock market.

It has two version: Casflow 101 for beginner and Cashflow 202 for intermediate to advance level. I always play the 101 (since the 202 has some major bugs e.g when the stock market rises, your game can hang WTF! ) and I always play by myself or versus the computer due to the slow network that I have at home. I am now a level #9 Employee trying to break into the Self-Employed level. Heh heh heh

Have fun playing and happy holiday!
