S3E89: How to Improve Cash Flow Using 6 Financial KPIs

Financial KPIs for cash flow reveal the numbers that determine whether your financial life improves or stagnates. In this episode of Rich Dad StockCast, host Del Denney sits down with Rich Dad expert Andy Tanner to break down the six key financial indicators that influence your cash flow and long-term financial success.

Andy explains that most people want more money, freedom, and security—but they fail to measure the numbers that actually create those outcomes. Just like businesses track key performance indicators (KPIs), individuals must track the financial metrics that drive their personal wealth .

In this episode, Del and Andy walk through the six critical financial KPIs every investor should track:

-Expenses — understanding the cost of the lifestyle you want to live
-Income — separating active income from passive income
-Cash Flow — measuring the gap between income and expenses
-Assets — acquiring investments that generate income
-Liabilities — understanding the difference between good debt and bad debt
-Buying Power — expanding the financial capacity to acquire assets

Andy emphasizes that small improvements in these numbers can create powerful compounding results over time. By reviewing these metrics regularly—weekly or monthly—investors can focus their attention on the areas that move their financial life forward.

The discussion also explores why investors should think about their finances like a business. When financial decisions are measured objectively, emotions become less influential and decisions become more strategic. This shift allows investors to focus on increasing cash flow rather than simply chasing income.

For entrepreneurs and investors, the most important insight is that wealth does not happen randomly. It grows from deliberate action, consistent measurement, and ongoing financial education.

When you understand these financial KPIs, you gain the ability to track, adjust, and improve the numbers that ultimately determine your financial future.
