Other Financial Personalities

Robert Kiyosaki states there is only ONE thing to know – Know the difference between an asset and a liability and BUY ASSETS!

“The rich store up assets, but the poor focuses on buying liabilities.”

Robert is known to be a financial guru by lots of people. He teaches how to get out of the “rat race” by focusing on buying things that will put money in your pocket (assets), and not on things that will take money out of your pocket (liabilities), and he encourages everyone to take ownership of their financial future with financial education.

An example from Robert is:

The house you are living in is not usually an asset. It is usually a liability because it is not putting money in your pocket. The house you are living in is taking money out of your pocket with insurance premiums, taxes, and maintenance costs; however, a rental property can be an asset if it is putting money in your pocket even after the insurance premiums, taxes, and maintenance cost/fees are paid.

I love what JL Collins has done and the reason behind how he got started blogging and writing about finance. He started blogging about everything he has learned as a way to archive his information for his daughter to use in the future, but his blog grew and has become one of the most highly respected blogs in the world of Financial Independence which has dubbed him the name The Godfather FI. His book and website are a wealth of information on finance.

Mr. Money Mustache is another highly regarded finance personality that started a blog to help teach people that you can live frugally and still live a great life to achieve your goals of financial freedom. He is one that a lot of people in the F.I.R.E. community look to, and he could be a good source of information in achieving those goals.
