My other big obsession is called the Cash Flow Game. It is a real stretch to relate this to spinning and knitting, except for the fact that many of us love what we do so much that we start our own businesses. And all of us want more time to do our craft!

Time is money, as they say, and this is a new way of looking at how we can all gain more time - by having our money work for us, instead of always slaving away for money.

The idea of cash flow is to learn exactly what in our lives is an asset, and what is a liability. We then learn how to make our assets work in our favor, and reduce financial liabilities until we have the thing we really want - more time.

The ideas presented in the Cash Flow Game come from Robert T. Kiyosaki who has written the book, Rich Dad Poor Dad (and many sequels). In this book he explains how his real dad, and his mentor, both taught him different things about money. This simple experience showed him, early on, that rich people and poor people think about money differently. His books teach the rest of us that changing our ideas about our finances (which, of course changes our day to day actions in relation to those ideas) make a difference in our financial freedom.

Since I am always into finding ways to more freedom, these ideas are for me. If any of you, out there, share my passion (and obsession) for this new way of looking at things, you can also find resources and read about this at my website: www.spindling.com.

On my big travels across the country in May and early June, I would be glad to come present these ideas to your group, and play the Cash Flow Game with you. Maybe even show you how to clicker train your pet!
