My dad was poor but my mom taught me business principles, mainly through necessity Do you have a rich Dad or a poor dad?

Honestly rate some of the recent music I've made here: Pick a song and let me know if you like any of it. Be honest. Thank you! I've put together about 500 songs and these are some of my favorites

Hey folks I’m Lars aka “cl4rds” on pretty much every poker site I’ve played on. I play music professionally, teach lessons at the collegiate level, and substitute teach. I’ve been a cannon and a fish for a few years on the 2, 4, 5 and 6 card streets but recently have become a little more “break-even” in low stakes online mtt’s. I am looking to solidify my fundamentals and participate in a community of folks looking to learn. Looking forward to seeing y’all on LSE again soon!

Good luck brother @Hayden-hetland

Trading Time for Paper vs. Building Real Wealth I was thinking about this concept from Rich Dad Poor Dad this morning and figured I'd do some reading and share my thoughts. The book breaks down this fundamental split between two mindsets. Rich v poor Most people wake up, grind for 8-10 hours, collect a check, pay bills, repeat. They're trading time for pieces of paper because the number on the paycheck keeps them feeling secure. Rich Dad flips that entire script. He taught that "working for money is the trap." The real move is working to learn, to build skills, to understand how systems (and money models) operate. When you work for experience instead of a paycheck, you're accumulating something that compounds - knowledge, connections, capabilities that let you build or buy assets. Here's what an asset actually is: "Something that puts money in your pocket without you having to show up." Rental properties generating cash flow. Businesses running with systems. Dividend-paying stocks. Royalties from intellectual property. These things work while you sleep. A liability is anything taking money out of your pocket. Most people buy liabilities thinking they're assets. Your car payment, credit cards, all of it - liabilities dressed up as necessities. The wealthy understand this distinction completely. They don't work harder for more money. They work smarter to acquire more assets. Each asset becomes an employee working 24/7 to generate income. Then they use that income to buy more assets. The cycle builds on itself. Meanwhile, the middle class gets a raise and immediately upgrades their lifestyle. Bigger house payment, nicer car lease, fancier vacations. Expenses rise to match income. Running faster on the same treadmill, never actually getting ahead. I see this playing out everywhere. People grinding 60-hour weeks at jobs they hate because they need the money to maintain lifestyles they can't afford. They're scared to make moves because they think they need the stability.
