Top Ten Thing I Learned Playing Cashflow...

The top ten things I learned playing Cashflow at Steve M.'s house Thursday night:
(a hushed drum roll begins in the background...)
#10 - Those who go home to bed before getting out of the rat race will definitely not win
the game (though they may get more sleep than others)! No offense to Rod or Joe - we
are glad they made it out to play!
#9 - Being a Doctor or a Lawyer isn't worth all the years of study - it really just means your
kids (and everything else) costs too much... Well, I learned that the first time I played Cashflow,
but it's on the list now.
#8 - Partnering on deals with Jim M. is bad luck. Not his fault; not my fault; just a partnership
that is somehow cursed to not be real successful!
#7 - Education is a DooDad - I know it's true because Steve M. says so!
#6 - When playing Cashflow outside, it doesn't keep the kids awake at night.
#5 - When playing Cashflow outside, the mosquitoes might bite those who stay up too late (even in the screened in porch)!
#4 - Never buy a deal if Steve M.'s lips are flapping. He will suck you into mediocre
deals by making them sound better than they really are, over and over again...
Just ask Rob!
#3 - Persistence pays off... Despite any and all efforts to the contrary, when a man
(and possibly a woman, but I can't guarantee that, as there were no women playing)
decides he won't be stopped from achieving his dreams, regardless if he has 3 kids, gets downsized several times, and has his income reduced to just $90/pay day, if he persists it is just a matter of time until he gets out of the rat race and makes his dreams come true!
#2 - If going to play Cashflow at Steve M.'s house, make sure somebody remembers
to take an extra set of table legs with them (the Turkey says, "gobble, gobble"; the table goes, "wobble, wobble")!!!
(drum roll gets louder and louder...)
#1 - Despite much, much evidence to the contrary, Rob doesn't win every time we play Cashflow!!! Sometimes he finishes 2nd! Congratulations Jim M.! Not sure if that is Jim's first win or second, but whatever it is, it definitely ends a long dry spell! Well done!
