Cash flow

Cash flow is when you have money coming in (aka income) and money going out (aka expenses). So if you have more money coming in than going out, you have a positive cash flow. If you have more money going out than coming in, you have a negative cash flow. It's like a game where you can get points for having more money coming in than going out. To decide if you have a positive cash flow or negative cash flow, you need to make a list of all the money coming in and all the money going out. Most people do this over a certain amount of time, like a month or a year. Then you can compare the two lists and see if you have more entering or leaving. That's how you'd know if you have a positive or negative cash flow.
