Return To Cashflow Article Archive   Search the Article Archives The basics of cash flow By Steven Mcgeorge Understanding cash flow isnt that hard when you put everything in to perspective. Basically, you have two kinds of cash flow, negative cash flow and positive cash flow. We will discuss both kinds of cash flows. Negative cash flow is what we class as money going out. For example, if you have a bank account and money goes out of that account to pay a specific bill or even for something else, that would be negative cash flow. Positive cash flow is what we class as money going in, or income. So, if you have a bank account and you have a wage going in each month from some form of a job that would be positive cash flow. People who are good with savings and earning money focus on positive cash flow. These people stay ahead of the pack, so while everyone is staying 50 - 50 with cash flow, these people will focus on creating many income streams for positive cash flow. This outweighs the negative cash flow such as bills or even mortgages. Eventually you end up with many positive cash flow streams so you make money and keep money. You have to work smart to achieve something like this of course; however, you can still do it with one income stream if you plan out your cash flow sensibly. One book we recommend reading which is all about cash flow and how to begin the path of accumulating wealth is the book called Rich Dad Poor Dad, this is an excellent read and is worth the small cost for an excellent fundamental education on the workings of cash flow. Remember, if you are trying to create positive cash flow, try and get rid of your debts. This way you can then start putting money aside from your earnings after paying your survival bills such as rent, utility bills etc. You could then invest this income in to something else which creates more income. You could keep doing this to create multiple positive income streams. There are many ways you could do the above, you could look in to the stock markets, you could build websites for extra income. You could look in to high investment accounts, and you could even look in to real estate. These are only a few; there are many ways to create positive income streams if you really want to achieve this.
