Chapter 6: 1.) A time that I can think of that had an impact on my finances would be when I invested into a 401k. Although my paychecks were taken from each paycheck for the 401k, the long-term fund amount was a positive reflection of my choice. 2.) I think people underestimate the role of rare events because it's not talked about enough. I think society is stuck on one way of thinking or beliefs instead of being open to change and adjusting to anything happening, good or bad. 3.) This affects my future risk because it motivates me to take risk. If I'm applying myself to 50% of something, even if 49% is failing horribly that 1% could be the positive turn around for financial freedom.

Chapter 7: 1.) Financial freedom means to me, being able to do what I want when I want and also leave behind generational wealth. 2.) I've changed my work schedule around to free me from work, so that I can have more time to gain financial knowledge. That will put myself in better positions to win financially. 3.) I value having more free time than earning money. I say this because when I have free time I'm brainstorming more ways to make my money work for me, not the other way around. I'm trying to get out of the cycle of chasing paychecks. Having free time allows me to connect with people who are on their way to generational wealth.

What stood out most to me was the similar rule of watching the company you keep. You are the company you keep. The concept between rich dad and poor dad showed me two different ways of thinking. Me being able to identify with both ways of thinking. The book challenged my way of thinking on earned income. But I really enjoyed learning about earned income, portfolio income and passive income. It inspired me to want to focus more on portfolio income. I definitely gained more knowledge about assets vs. liabilities; I would recommend this book to anyone trying to gain financial literacy.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It made me feel emotional because it made me sit and think about the different choices we have in life and how close we are as a collective to living better. I would recommend this book to anyone that is on a financial journey of finding themselves and trying to excel in life! This book made me value my hard labor and gave me better insight on how to save more while working less! I didn't have any expectations going into this book at the beginning, but at the end I loved how it seemed liked the booked contained descriptions that seemed like they were apart of history. My favorite part of the book was when all the debt that was owed was paid off because I didn't see that coming.
