Summary — what Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant is about

Kiyosaki's sequel divides how people make money into four quadrants: Employee, Self-employed, Business owner and Investor. The left side (E and S) trades time for money; the right side (B and I) builds systems and assets that work without you.

The book is about moving from the left to the right side of the quadrant to achieve financial freedom, and the mindset and skills each transition requires.

Key lessons & takeaways

  • Income falls into four quadrants: E, S, B and I.
  • The left side trades time for money; the right builds assets.
  • Financial freedom comes from the B and I quadrants.
  • Building systems beats being the system.
