This is the last weekend before school reopens. Ashley’s cousins (JY, WY & Des) “camped” at our place on Saturday night to play Cashflow 101 game. I was the banker cum facilitator cum Ashley’s mentor. We started the 1st game at around 10pm and ended at around 1pm with WY attaining her dream and Ashley out of the rat race. The second game started at around 11am and ended at around 1pm on the next day, with Ashley attaining her dream and WY out of the rat race. Interesting to note that the same two people got out of the rat race for both games.

The top 3 reasons why the other two players never attain their dreams or got out of the rat race:

  1. Did not focus on the goal of the game, i.e. building passive income to be more than expenses. They enjoyed shouting “pay check”, and satisfied with holding cash in their hands.
  2. Not willing to take risk. They kept choosing the small deals despite having enough money for the big deals.
  3. Focusing on the “negative” spaces, i.e.”Baby” or “Downsized”, and hope not to land there. Interestingly, the more they didn’t want it, the more often they landed there.

Game is a reflection of life. Let’s take some time to reflect on our habits, both good and bad ones, and evaluate how these habits helped or hindered our game play.
