the reason my wife Kim and I are financially free, never needing to work 
again. We continue to work because we choose to. Today we own a real 
estate investment company for passive income and participate in private 
placements and initial public offerings of stock for portfolio income.
We also went back to work to build a financial-education company 
so that we can continue to create and publish books and games. All of 
our educational products are created to teach the same skills my rich 
dad taught me, the skills of converting earned income into passive and 
portfolio income.
The games we create are important because they teach what books 
cannot teach. For example, you could never learn to ride a bicycle by 
only reading a book. Our CASHFLOW games for adults and
CASHFLOW for Kids game are designed to teach players the basic 
investment skills of converting earned income into passive and
portfolio income. They also teach the principles of accounting and 
financial literacy. These games are the only educational products in
the world that teach people all of 
these skills simultaneously.
CASHFLOW 202 is the advanced 
version of CASHFLOW 101 and 
requires the game board from 101, as 
well as a full understanding of 101, 
before it can be played. CASHFLOW 
101 and CASHFLOW for Kids 
teach the principles of fundamental 
investing. CASHFLOW 202 teaches the 
principles of technical investing. Technical investing involves advanced 
trading techniques such as short selling, call options, put options, and 
straddles. A person who understands these advanced techniques is able 
to make money when the market goes up, as well as when the market 
comes down. As my rich dad would say, “A real investor makes money 
in an up market and a down market. That is why they make so much 
money.” One of the reasons they make more money is simply because 
they have more self-confidence. Rich dad would say, “They have more
