CASHFLOW Quadrant
How to Get Free
Debt and taxes are the main reasons most people never feel financially
secure or achieve financial freedom. The path to security or freedom is
found on the right side of the CASHFLOW Quadrant. You need to go
beyond job security and know the difference between financial security
and financial freedom.
As you know, my highly educated dad was fixated on job security,
as are most people of his generation. He assumed that job security
meant financial security—until, that is, he lost his job and couldn’t find
another. My rich dad never talked about job security. He talked instead
about financial freedom.
The answer to finding the kind of security or freedom you desire can
be found in observing the patterns found in the CASHFLOW Quadrant.
The Pattern for Job Security
SCHOOL
People who follow this pattern are often good at performing their
job. Many spent years in school and years on the job gaining experience.
The problem is that they know little about the B quadrant or the
I quadrant, even if they have a retirement plan. They feel financially
insecure because they’ve been trained only for job security.
