Description

In Rich Dad Poor Dad, the #1 Personal Finance book of all time, Robert Kiyosaki shares the story of his two dad: his real father, whom he calls his ‘poor dad,’ and the father of his best friend, the man who became his mentor and his ‘rich dad.’ One man was well educated and an employee all his life, the other’s education was “street smarts” over traditional classroom education and he took the path of entrepreneurship…a road that led him to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Robert’s poor dad struggled financially all his life, and these two dads—these very different points of view of money, investing, and employment—shaped Robert’s thinking about money.

Robert has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people, around the world, think about money and investing and he has become a global advocate for financial education and the path to financial freedom. Rich Dad Poor Dad (and the Rich Dad series it spawned) has sold over 36 million copies in English and translated editions around the world.

Rich Dad Poor Dad will…
• explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
• challenge the belief that your house is an asset
• show parents why they can’t rely on the school system to teach their kids
about money
• define, once and for all, an asset and a liability
• explain the difference between good debt and bad debt
• teach you to see the world of money from different perspectives
• discuss the shift in mindset that can put you on the road to financial freedom

    This book is amazing and really changed the way I think about money. I now know what kind of income I should work hard for and what kind of risk I should take. All while considering my family.

    It’s a really good book if you’re looking for anyone looking to understand financial freedom. I loved how he breaks down his rich dad and poor dad’s mindset. This book explains in great depth how you can reach wealth and not just be rich.

    2nd time reading but too far in between to not have made massive changes in regards to my finances. Another pain point in my life. But not today. have been like a lost sheep thinking working hard would get me some where. After taxes, I feel more poor than I did before I got my check. This happened for over a decade. I am taking control of my finances by educating myself through reading Best Sellers like this and others in this collection as well as other recommend books. Thank you for the life lessons Mr. Kiyosaki which I will keep forever and share with my son. I will definitely re read this again.

    I initially felt it was a good read until I started reading other reviews of this book and the next ones in the series. They mention how he runs circles around his words and restates a lot of what he has already said. After reading the reviews saying so, I immediately agreed. There’s a lot of reiterating, but overall it is a good book to read as a first book.
