The illustration I depicted above, showcase *the Known Assets & the Unknown Variables* ??
The _*Unknown Variables*_ are the _black pieces_ & _*the known variables*_ are our own good white pieces.
White pieces make the first move against the established rank of the unknown black pieces.
_*Objective of the game is to win….else, at best, to end it as a draw*_
The game starts with the opening of our _*Earnings & savings Pawn*_‘….oh yes, the rule says, we can make the first move with the _*Real Estate Knight*_ as well, but what’s the plan, here? ?
_*Earnings & Savings Pawns move, One Step at a time*_, but create a phenomenal opening space for the movement of the stronger pieces, behind – Lets start with the pawns ?
The _*Golden Rook(s)*_ Asset of Gold, moves horizontally, Inflation adjusted or has sometimes has a growth oriented upside move… up the ‘files’ (column) on the money board. It’s quite powerful & potent in many parameters of an Asset Holding (free liquidity to move, strategically positioned on the board corners, has a direct emotional connect with the King (self) via a mode called, Castling ☺️
The _*Real Estate Knight(s)*_ keeps jumping forward & backward (over other assets as well ?), but always within a restricted “L” shaped movement. The only asset to play with ‘leverage’ but is also severely constrained in movement as it can never move more than 3 squares at a time. _The doom happens when its ‘landing squares are blocked’ – Liquidity is vapourised and the piece is lost_
The _*Fixed income Bishop(s)*_, also come with restrictions, but a combination of tax free (EPF/PPF) & taxable (all other options), makes them a nice option to have a smooth ride on the board. _Both the bishops combined can be a wonderful liquidity weapon to have in hand_.
The _*Equity Queen*_, is considered the most important piece on the Asset Board, after the King. Can move in any direction. Strategically, maybe the last to make a move, but the most efficient resource on the Money Life board. _When it makes the definitive move, it does deliver quite a statement. Works as the main protector of the King against Inflation, Interest Rates down spiral etc. It’s only focus – destroy as much as the enemy lines, protect the king in the long haul_
The _*Money Life King*_; alas, _*we can Never Ever lose him*_. If so, the game Is lost. _When we get into a _*check position*_ _by the ‘unknown variables’, all our other assets ensure that the King will be out of this position, even by sacrificing themselves for saving the king_
The ultimate aim is to _*not get checkmated*_; that’s losing the Money & Life game. _*If we can’t win, at least end up with a ‘draw’ and salvage something on the board. We’ll still be standing*_
Well, there is a possibility that _the King can get checkmated with all his Assets in place_, but; _*are they in order to not get the king into such a messy situation? PLAN WELL ON THE ASSET MOVES*_ ???
The _*Unknown Variables*_ are never known in advance except that, we need to _make a thorough study of the historical perspectives under which these variables made their moves. If this was the situation?, how did they move or which square did they move to?—-that is the _*historical memory*_ we need to build & be ready with, though; *Every time its different*; but, the underlying moves will most likely be similar_
The best thing is….. _*Enjoy playing the game & it’s better to be safe than be sorry*_
_*STAY ON THE BOARD*_
