The Money Pump
This money pump represents the way you generate cash for your personal use. If you are an employee the outflow from the pump represents the cash generated for your employer from your efforts.
Your share is mostly represented as your wage. If the pump represents your business the outflow is the gross cash generated by the operations of the business.
