I was in the kitchen this evening having a chat with my mom about it particularly about the monthly payments and membership fees and I was tempted to say, “I can’t afford it” but then I mentally stopped myself and asked loudly, “How can I afford it?” I could almost see Robert Kiyosaki nodding in agreement. Well, I still remember the valuable financial lessons I’ve read from his bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. The book was an eye-opener for me as I read about the cash flow quadrant, the different kinds of businesses such as franchises and traditional corporations, and other financial concerns such as assets and liabilities.

Until now, whenever something expensive entices me, I would always remember Kiyosaki’s teachings about not closing your mind to the possibilities of attaining it. According to him, saying you can’t afford it closes you to the many opportunities that are just around. It limits what you can do and is the easy alibi of a lazy mind.
