Note: - This was an audio book that I listened to. And the below is what I remember of the top of my head.
42. Financial aptitude is most important. Your biggest wealth is your mind and how fast you can learn. A fool and his money are soon parted. To increase financial IQ you need skills such as - accounting, investing, understanding the market and understanding the law (i.e. the tax breaks and such. Corporations spend first and then are taxed, individuals are taxed first and then spend).
43. There are three kinds of income - salaried, portfolio and passive. Salaried income is exchange of money for time. It's a short term solution to a long term problem. Portfolio income is money in paper - stocks, bonds. Passive income - is real estate rent, fixed deposits, etc money working to produce more money.
44. Habit - Pay your yourself first, then your creditors and then the rest.
45. Habit - Buy assets not liabilities. The poor accumulate consumer debts the most (credit cards, personal loans), the middle class accumulate liabilities the most (fancy car, house, electronics), the rich accumulate assets the most.
46. Habit - Hire people smarter than yourself. It pays to have the best stock broker, the best attorney, the best real estate agent, etc. It is way cheaper than loosing money making wrong decisions.
47. Habit - Discipline to apply. Discipline is the number one factor that delineates the rich from the poor. Most people listen, only a few apply what they learn.
48. Habit - Choose your friends. And choose them well. More of those who you want to be like and some of those who you do not want to be like. You can learn from both.
49. Skill - If you want to sell something you need to learn sales. I recommend you join a multi-level networking company.
50. Skill - Play money related games such as Cash Flow 101
51. Recommended book - Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason, The 16 percent solution by Joel Moskowitz
52. Quotes - The gem, mirror and the sword are the three sacred symbols of a japanese warrior. The mirror represents self inspection, and is the most treasured of the 3. Ask yourself frequently if what you are doing today will bring you closer to where you want to be tomorrow?
53. Quotes - "Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't" - Eleanor Roosevelt
