Item Description...
Outline Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless 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. --Howard Rothman

I think this book should be manditory for everyone in the U.S. to read in school. It explains alot about how the different classes view money and how money actually works and should work for you. It is good to read Kiyosaki's "Cashflow Quadrant" after reading this book. Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom
So-so... Mar 26, 2007
I'd have to say this book, as said before, would be a lot better for those looking to START along the "path to becoming wealthy." Not real great for people already right smack in the middle of their lives. Its a good, quick read for anyone interested in finance / managing money but I'm sure there's better.
Kiyosaki is a genius Mar 26, 2007
This is not the type of book I would read. I had to read it for an assignement. Kiyosaki speaks to everyone, not matter what your age is. Reading it now, I feel like I could be a millionaire by the age of 27. Its definitely something I would teach my kids, from the school aspect of it to the taxes. Read it, it will give you great knowlege which you could use for the rest of your life!!!
Great, Insightful book! Mar 26, 2007
As a high school student, I thought I would not understand this book at all, that it might have difficult financial jargon and complex ideas only understandable to few. However, Robert T. Kiuosaki's explanation and comparison of the educationa and perspectives between the rich and poor provide insightful ideas for anyone to understand. He basically dispells the myth that you have to have a high salary to be rich, shows you that your house is actually a liability than an asset, and that you cannot rely on schools to teach students on how to be financially competent.
This book is a must read for anyone and everyone.
He can't write and says nothing Mar 25, 2007
What an overrated book. He and his co-author can't wirte. He talks but tells you nothing. Yes, he is rich, but I bet he didn't do it through real estate. He is rich because people buy his stupid books and pay to hear him and his wife talk. I've seen them talk and guess what? They say nothing. What a fraud! Furthermore I hope his poor dad hates his guts. Kiyosaki spits in the face of all hard working people. Screw him
