According to Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich dad poor dad, all you need to know to be rich is the difference between an asset and a liability. An asset puts money in your pocket while a liability takes money out of your pocket. If you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying or building assets.
Liabilities:
- Mortgage
- Car Loans
- Credit Card Debt
- School Loans
These take money out of your pocket and are burdens to you.
Down below are some examples of assets and how you can acquire / build them.

Businesses
While buying a business, you should not buy a business that requires your presence all the time. Buy a business that can make you passive income (passive income is money you earn with as little as no effort)
Take a masseuse for example, if they get 500 orders in one day, they will not be able to fulfill all of the requests. However, if you are an e-commerce business and get 500 orders, the order can be fulfilled without much effort.
In this case, you can either build a business or buy one.
