The Room was Bursting with Excitement!

Today was sooo cool!

We had almost 60 people show up at our Cashflow for Kids event at our new site. (Too many people for our house!)

The room was bursting with excitement! The snack table was overflowing and multiple prizes were given away. The most exciting sound heard was enthusiastic celebrations when people got out of the Rat Race … we asked them to shout, “Woo hoo, I am out of the Rat Race!” Everyone in the room applauded and cheered for the winner. The entire room was genuinely excited for each and every winner. We gave out 200 Grand as prizes to the first kids to make it out of the Rat Race at each table (you know, 2 of the 100 Grand candy bars J). Also, the first four kids to get out received Rich Dad books: Why We Want You to Be Rich and Escape from the Rat Race. Each winner had an opportunity to explain to everyone how they “got out”. They told about the deals they purchased and how they increased their passive income. Check out the picture of the winners.

Our goals for today’s game were, (1) learn something from new from the game, (2) meet someone new, and (3) have fun! We think the goals were achieved and beyond. Here are some comments/feedback that people gave us:

“This is so inspiring that kids are hosting this game!”

“A great time for kids to play a game that will help them.”

“We really enjoyed playing Cashflow for Kids! Thanks for letting us play with you!”

“This is great!”

“I had a fun time today, hope you have more events.”

As you can tell we had a great time hosting this game and hope that you will come to one of our future games.

Our next game is April 13th from 6:30-9:30. If you are interested and want directions, please e-mail us at ampm@cox.net.

Kelsey & Karly,
You're awesome! Your blog was like a breath of fresh air to read. I am 12 years old and CASHFLOW is my absolute favorite board game.

As I'm sure you read in Why We Want To Be Rich, the collapse of the middle class in America is creating a culture of those who have financial freedom and those who do not. The message of financial success for our generation is not only necessary it is quickly becoming crucial - and then of course there are those ominous clouds over our future called Social Security, the national trade deficit and Medicare!

200 Grand may be a candy bar right now, but the power of financial knowledge will be oh, so sweet in the future.
