Cashflow 101 Boardgame

I've been thinking about organizing a Cashflow 101 Game where people can get together and learn about personal finance from the game and other players. I played the software version many years ago and played the actual board game 3 years ago and I can say that both games have a different feel to it. Playing with other players helped me understand different their approaches with how to get out of the Rat Race which is the goal of the game.

The Rat Race is not a representation of employment but the "paycheck to paycheck lifestyle" that most people are in.

What I learned in the game was how to create my own income statement and look at how much is my monthly cashflow. After playing the game, me and my wife actually sat down and created our income statement and for the first time learned our actual monthly cashflow. We also made some decisions on where and how much to put our investments.

We even played with our friends and taught them what we learned. We also learned from their insights from the game.

Now, back to organizing the game. I reached out to a friend who was very excited to play this game that we talked about having a Cashflow 101 Club. Let's see how this work in the future.
