Why Some People Get Richer the More They Owe

为什么有人越欠钱越富

Stop looking at debt alone. Look at assets, liabilities and cash flow together.

Wallace Wang · Updated 2026-09-14

This chapter is an outline for now. The book is written in public: the full text, stories and cases will be added to this page, at this same address.

Chapter summary

The first chapter that ties the earlier ideas together. Property investors, entrepreneurs, private equity firms, large corporations and wealthy families often carry substantial debt. The number that tells you whether that is healthy is not debt on its own but assets minus liabilities, together with cash flow. The chapter introduces balance-sheet thinking.

因为真正应该看的不是 Debt,而是:

Assets − Liabilities + Cash Flow

这一章第一次建立“资产负债表思维”。
