"The main reason people struggle
financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing
about money. The result is that people learn to work for money... but never
learn to have money work for them." -- Robert Kiyosaki
Rich Dad, Poor
Dad What the Rich
Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor & Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert T.
Kiyosaki Kiyosaki compellingly
advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools.
Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier
bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how
those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed.

RichDad, PoorDadBook Review What is the
difference in the world view and attitude of people who become rich compared to
other people? What things do they do differently to have such different results
in their lives? Robert T. Kiyosaki had a unique opportunity to find out.
Robert's father was an educator and public administrator. When Robert was a
young boy, he and his friend, Mike decided they wanted to learn how to become
rich. They started by trying to make (counterfeit) money.

Beattie Notebook » RichDad, PoorDad
The basic tenent of the book is that the rich think about money differently
than the middle class or the poor do and they teach that understanding to their
children, but the rest of us remain clueless. I remember when I went to college
having conversations with roomates who were from much better to-do families,
amazed at the things they knew and talked about when it came to money. It makes
sense... Most of the people I grew up with, money was something to be avoided,
because you never had enough. Money meant bills, and it was generally better to
avoid the whole subject. People with money, however, know what to do with that
money and how to invest that money to make it grow. That's something that the
rest of us learn waaay to late in life, I think.
If
I Were a RichDad - Why millions buy RichDad,
PoorDad's... Where do Americans get financial advice?
Merrill Lynch? CNBC? Or Robert T. Kiyosaki? If you don't know who Robert T.
Kiyosaki is, well, you can find him at the top of many a best-seller list. His
, is currently No. 1 on the New York Times paperback "advice" charta list
that it's been on for an astonishing 98 weeks. Spinoffs, including Rich Dad's
Guide to Investing and Rich Kid, Smart Kid, also seem to be selling. Obviously
there are many, many advice books on the market, financially focused and
otherwise, but only a handful turn into franchises.
