The Appearance
The assets are " buenos" , normally. They contribute to your wealth, and that is good, in principle. But the assets have some hidden secrets; for example, real estate can acquire major value with time (, the precious metals, the jewels, the art), but to turn in cash you require them two things: the senior advisory group (who do not cost an eye to you of the face) and time. If you are in a hurry by to turn assets into money in cash to face an unforeseen circumstance, is probable that you must sell it to reduced price. That can happen to him to much people who accumulate jewels like security for the future. If acquired in a house prestige jeweler when it wants to sell them, perhaps it must do it to discounted prices. Another characteristic of the assets is that they can be, (or to represent), liabilities in fact hidden. The classic example of Kiyosaki is the house room, your own house.
As you have bought probably it with your personal needs in mind, if you want to sell it is possible you must that it do with a discount. You have not chosen it in order to sell it more ahead, so it can be that it does not have the commercial value that you think. The car of the house is another example of assets that represent liabilities in fact. The taxes, the maintenance, the fuels and lubricants and depreciation do of car one " inversin" of doubtful yield. Clear that in the mind of the majority of the people images come from the appearance that you will give when they see you driving a great car, (in many societies the car is the best index of your social and economic level, so much people deliver financial attacks excessive to represent the best one, highest, possible level).
