Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 41
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
