AssetColumn.com: The Meaning Behind The Name

Most people are fascinated with the prospect of becoming rich that only a few pause and think of a way of getting and staying out of financial trouble. In his book, 'Rich Dad Poor Dad', Robert Kiyosaki is keen to point out that your expense column is a crystal ball. If this does not make sense to you, don't worry - it will be explained in detail as you read on.

It Begins With A Balance Sheet

As an individual, you have assets and liabilities. An asset is any property you own (not necessarily of physical value) that has value and which you can use to meet debt, commitment or legacies. Vehicles, cash, supplies, equipment and accounts receivable are your assets. You will remember that we mentioned that an asset does not necessarily have to be abstract. Well, this is where accounts receivables come in. This refers to any amount owed to you for service delivered. For example, if Alex delivers a parcel but isn't paid immediately then the cash owed to him for the delivery is as asset known to as Accounts Receivable. Other assets include real estate, notes, bonds and royalty payments among others.

Liabilities, on the other hand, are obligations or amounts owed to others. It could be in the form of wages, loans and interest, utility bills and accounts payable (amount owed for goods purchased on credit). In other words, liabilities are expenses. Your assets and liabilities at any particular time can be summarized in a balance sheet. If your asset column is greater than your liabilities column then you are on the safe side. After all, your assets can comfortably pay for your liabilities.
