Rich dad uses financial leverage from "summary" of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki
One of the key principles that my rich dad taught me was the concept of financial leverage. He explained that financial leverage is a powerful tool that can be used to increase wealth and build assets. Essentially, financial leverage involves using borrowed money to invest in assets that have the potential to generate a higher return than the cost of borrowing.
My rich dad used financial leverage to his advantage by taking out loans to invest in income-producing properties. By using other people's money to acquire real estate, he was able to build a portfolio of assets that generated passive income. This income allowed him to cover the cost of the loans and still have money left over for other investments.
Rich dad understood that financial leverage could amplify both gains and losses. When used wisely, financial leverage can accelerate wealth accumulation. However, it also comes with risks, as borrowing money to invest means that you are taking on debt that needs to be repaid, regardless of the performance of your investments.
My rich dad was a firm believer in using financial leverage to build wealth, but he also emphasized the importance of being financially educated and making informed decisions. He cautioned against taking on excessive debt or investing in assets without a clear understanding of the risks involved.
In contrast, my poor dad was more risk-averse and preferred to avoid debt altogether. While his approach may have provided a sense of security, it also limited his ability to grow wealth and achieve financial independence.
Through my rich dad's teachings, I learned the power of financial leverage and how it can be used strategically to build wealth. By leveraging other people's money to invest in income-producing assets, it is possible to create a passive income stream that can support a comfortable lifestyle and pave the way to financial freedom.
