Cash into Trash

Robert Kiyosaki (author of the best seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad) wrote in his book Rich Dad's Guide To Investing that most people "turn cash into trash." This phrase really stuck with me. The money you spent in the last six months, what do you have to show for it now? Now don't get me wrong, it's good to spend some money making memories with family and friends. I think you should spend money on good foods that improve your health. There are valuable things that you should spend money on. But was any of the money you spent in the last six months spent on anything that has that much value, or more, now? Or was it spent on things that depreciate, go to the trash heap, go down the toilet or sit in your veins and around your waist.

Start spending money on things that will retain their value. Why sell your life for a paycheck that ends up in the dump?
