Cashflow Online Games for Your Personal Finance Literacy

August 31st, 2010

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 hee hee

Have fun playing and happy holiday!

Money and Relationship

August 25th, 2010

Have you seen this video? Unfortunately this video is in Malay so if you don’t understand it, basically it says that a man (who only sells burger in a stall as his living) has been rejected by his fiancée, a gold-digger bitchy type of woman. The best thing is, this is a recording from our local radio. *facepalm*

Sad. Pathetic. Lose his dignity over a radio call. Hai lah Samad… Samad… kesian….

This got me thinking about money and relationship. My stand; love by itself will not be sufficient for a living. You still need money to buy foods, shelter, and to move around. But…

For men, being pathetic and not improving himself to prove to the world that you can support somebody’s daughter is killer. We need to prove to the world that we are capable of taking care and support somebody’s daughter. And it’s not by providing love by itself.
For women, don’t be too greedy and be a gold digger. It’s so bitchy and make you worthless if you keep going around chasing those “Datuks” or VIP who has a lot in his pocket. World is based on karma; one day you will also be old and not pretty anymore.

That nicely put the conclusions.

Man is a provider. You got to work to earn money so that you won’t live on the street. No matter whether you’re starting your own business or you work for some corporation or other business, the important thing is for you to improve your living condition. You work, you got money. You got money, you can get married and are worthy to be someone’s husband. Enough said.

Woman is the supporter and the caretaker. If your man is having difficulty, say — being sacked; be by his side. His business got some problem, help as much as you can. Help him to rise again. Help motivate him. If you can help a man to be successful in his life, then that’s your indication that you have found somebody that is worthy to be yours. I don’t deny that many women can stand by their own feet nowadays — but you are still being seen as not successful if you haven’t been the reason for one man to achieve his glory.

Relationship is symbiosis. Man might be seen as a powerful figure in this world; he who control the domination, but he is nothing without you, girl. Yes, you might want to give him a lesson, but leaving him for another man gives an impression that you’re too materialistic.

Or maybe that guy is just hopeless? Sounds like it, anyway. *sigh*

I hope that Samad can rise again and be successful in his life. At least Ramly Burger proved that selling burgers is one hell of a good business. McDonalds prove it too. That bitch ain’t worth it.

You know what, Samad? Listen to this song below and dedicate it to her. HAHA laughing

So what do you think? Is the girl a bitch, or is the guy is just hopeless?

P/s: Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: it lets people know you’re not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash and your cock must work. (Guess which movie quote is this? )
