Cash Flow

Definition:

Revenue or expense streams that change a cash account over a given period. Cash inflows arise from one of three activities: financing, operations and investing. Cash flow can also be negative, if a business spends more money than it takes in during a given period of time.

Examples:

A properly structured life insurance policy is a safe investment tool and can be utilized by people to build up their wealth and plan for future cash flow

Once you own several properties, you can sell some of them for capital gains and keep some as rentals for a steady cash flow.
