Cashflow Quadrant

Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom, or simply Cashflow Quadrant for short, (ISBN 0–44667–747–7) is a personal finance and investing book published in 2000 by Robert Kiyosaki, with Sharon Lechter, C.P.A. It is the sequel to Kiyosaki's first best-seller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

In the book, Kiyosaki discusses what he calls the cashflow quadrant, which is a grid consisting of the letters E, S, B, and I. The cashflow quadrant itself is just an illustrative tool to show the difference between Employees, Small business owner/operators, Business owners (not directly involved in the day-to-day operation of the company), and Investors.

Kiyosaki discusses the differences, particularly pertaining to passive income and tax advantages, between making money in each of the quadrants.
