+title: "Don't Cover Liabilities With Liabilities"

+Robert Kiyosaki, in his famous book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", said 
+"You must know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy assets."
+I like that statement. I don't think it only applies to making money.
+
+Not only people don't realise that they're constantly piling liabilities,
+they use liabilities to... get rid of liabilities?
+
+## Liabilities that take liabilities away
+
+You'd find many products, etc that promise to fix an issue, sometimes they actually do.
+But many times they're just trying to make you believe that you're getting rid of all these problems,
+while in fact, these things that promise to take away your problems *are* a problem themselves.
+
+I stumbled across one of these recently. It was a certain app that scans all of your emails and gives you a
+report on what websites and services you've registered with and which sites are keeping your personal data.
+Apparently it also lets you easily request to delete that personal data. How convenient!
+
+The problem is all these companies keeping a hold of your personal data. 
+The goal is to keep track and/or ask to delete that data.
+Now you're giving **another** company all of your data, which analyses your data and tells 
+you about who is using your data. People falling for this have completely missed the point.
+You *think* you are solving a problem, but you're making the problem bigger!
+
+You initially wanted to lower your digital footprint or whatever, but instead
+you signed up for yet another service, which **increases** your digital footprint.
+Beware of such tactics. ~~For legal reasons~~ I can't say that the app is doing something bad,
+but you need to realise that what you think will take liabilities away might even be a liability itself.
