This posting is active once again, with a driver at the helm. So if you want to add links, go ahead make our day (Oh dear! must be all that eggnog). Feel free to post links that you think may help others, but remember this is not for advertising purposes, but for networking and education etc.
Back to the topic of Kiyosaki, I find his books more inspirational than learning tools, but he does have learning tools, one of which we bought for our kids which is the Cashflow for kids game. My daughter has learnt heaps about money, assests, liabillities, etc from playing this game. She loves playing it and has a far better grasp about money than other eight years olds, not to mention even older kids. At first we thought it was a bit too basic, but we’ve been impressed by how much she has learnt and retained from it. It was $127 but many people spend so much more on toys at Christmas for their kids so we’re thinking we got better value than they did. You can buy it through http://shop.powwowevents.com.au/site/bookstore as well as other educational books and tools on finance, property, etc. Av.
Thank you for your post. Your daughter will have an advantage over other children with her knowledge. Perhaps other children who have children your daughter’s age will also benefit from the game.
Nathan put a link in his post (“Some tips on getting started?”) but unless you add the www it won’t work, so I’ve just put it here and it will work. Tested it myself.
Thanks Nathan (boy do I wish I was 24 again [] )

Thanks Leigh! I’ve had some troubled waters on the home front, but I have been popping in now and then and couldn’t believe how quick things are moving! That is a testament to how great this site is.
Michael Lawson emailed me this link that was given by ‘Jumbo’ and although it is from 2001-2002, I agree with Michael that it is still worthwhile looking at. I do have a link for the ATO, but this is more direct for rental property.
Here goes: http://www.ato.gov.au/content/individuals/downloads/RentalProperties2002.pdf
Thank you for your contributions and I will be updating one of my links shortly.
By the way, on Today Tonight (Tue 4/3/03) there was a computer program being suggested in helping people do calculations in reducing their home mortage in less time. The program cost $99. Why I mention this, is because my husband created a basic spreedsheet for me ages ago and while it is not up to date to put up as a freebie here, it didn’t cost $99. So just a word of warning, that these programs help, but will not guarentee you will pay off your house sooner. However, if you are chosed at the Steve’s next seminar as one of the 10 people chosen…well you’re in for a very lucrative and fortunate experience.
Cheers and hello again to all our PI friends

I should let you all know, that I get emails from managers of sites wanting me to plug them. This site is not here for advertising, but if your site can BENEFIT the PI forum members than I will list it. If your site involves memberships or any sort of payments, please do not email me as I cannot in good conscience put it up to the forum. So far I’ve been wonderfully impressed with the contributions and the links suggested. Keep up the good work!
I look foward to meeting you at the next seminar on May 31st and June 1st.

P.s I can’t see it so will have to fix later. It’s so much easier to do a wrap than to work my way around computers !!! [:0)]
