Some ideas to help you win the Cashflow 101 game.
Let’s start with the concept of raising money. You can’t do anything without it, so you need to take advantage of it as much as possible. You do this by buying as many shares as you can, probably using most of your extra money!
The $1 stock buy card (that’s actually two) should be a gold mine, because when you sell, you can get up to 40 times your money.
If you choose this card, you have to borrow money from the bank (without declaring bankruptcy) and wait for you or someone else to pick up the corresponding sales card. This extra money should allow you to buy ‘Great Deals’ and very quickly you can get out of the ‘Rat Race’. By then, you’ll have more money than you know what to do with!
Next, always buy a property whenever you can with extra money, even if cash flow is tight or even negative. You may have the opportunity to sell the property at a profit if you or someone else takes a ‘Market’ card.
When buying businesses or property, if it costs more than you can afford, remember to factor in increased cash flow to see if it’s worth it. It may be worth just turning the rat race around by doing very little for a few times to pay off the money borrowed from the bank to pay for that ‘Big Deal’.
The next point is important, but I see people ignore it all the time.
If you have a lot of money, do something with it. Don’t cling to it. The least you can do is pay off some of his debts. Remember that some are more worth paying than others. Once again, this is true in real life.
Right now, interest rates are low and ‘slow’ money in the bank is actually losing value with inflation, so make it work for you by doing something with it.
On the fast track, always choose gambling options to increase your cash flow if you can afford it. Never miss any green box opportunity.
In short, I believe that life is about seizing opportunities, just like the Cashflow game. You need to do something with every turn of a card, instead of just waiting for that big problem to show up. Happy gaming!
