if u read rich dad poor dad u are supposed to buy assets and income generating commodities and use the positive cashflow from ur assets and holdings to fund ur luxury purchases and lifestyle,not buy luxuries and liabilities first and waste ur already limited income,time and resources paying off those debt and liabilities.under these circumstances,a house is also considered a liability and takes up a huge chuck of ur free cash flow and income,because u have to spend money paying bills and utilities,spend money maintaining ur home and spend money on property taxes,while it generates nothing in revenues for you.
i just got $100 dividend payout this month in my stock portfolio and im very happy,$100 means i can have two or three extra meals at restaurant.
