The tools, the games, and every book that followed.

The first book is one diagram explained well. Everything after it takes one piece of that diagram and stretches it out: a game that makes it physical, a shelf of books, coaching for readers who want a person rather than a page.

Learn the diagram by playing it

The board game exists because reading about cash flow and feeling it are different things. You play your own income statement, and the game ends when your asset column carries you out of the first track.

CASHFLOW, the classic game

Two tracks. On the Rat Race you collect a salary and pay bills; on the Fast Track you own the deals. To leave the first track your passive income has to cover your expenses, which is the whole book in one rule.

  • Play money, deal cards, and your own income statement
  • Better played with people who will argue

CASHFLOW for Kids

The same idea at table height: earn, spend, save, and watch what happens when you buy something that pays you back. The book's argument is that this is easier to learn at nine than at forty.

  • Short rounds, simple cards
  • Pairs with Rich Kid Smart Kid

Coaching

Structured programmes for readers who want to be walked through their own numbers by someone who has done it. The book's closing chapter is explicit that the fastest way to learn is beside someone who already does it.

  • Group and one-to-one formats
  • Built around your income statement

Rich Woman

Kim Kiyosaki's book and community, written for women who were told to hand the money questions to somebody else. Same diagram, different starting conversation.

  • The book, and events with other readers

The community

Readers who meet, play the game and compare notes. Most of the book's practical advice reduces to: spend your time with people who are building something.

  • Local game nights and reader groups

Educators and classrooms

Teachers who use the game and the teen edition to teach the difference between an asset and a liability before their students sign their first contract.

  • Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens
  • Escape from the Rat Race, in comic form

The library, with one line on what each book adds

Eighteen titles, all of them taking a single argument from the first book further. Start with the quadrant if you liked the diagram; start with the teen edition if the reader is young.
