Common Sense yet Lucid: No magic but Informative
(Fairfield, CT United States) April 13, 2005 - 3.0/5 stars

I read this book in a half of a morning as was surprised to see how common sense Kyosaki's method is. I am actually surprised that a book based solidly upon assets and liabilities can do so well when it is such common business practice.

Beyond that Kyosaki's suggestion that becoming rich through trading stocks it misguidance to a readership looking optimistically towards riches that could yield potentially horrible results.

To be perfectly honest about this book: if you couldn't come up with the concepts inside this work by the time you finished middle school you are way behind the eight ball.

That being said if you haven't had any financial training or just haven't pondered solid methodology toward building capital this book is an excellent point of departure.

The writing style makes grasping concepts simple yet it is a little bit patronizing to the reader and feels often like a script of an infomercial.

But this book is filled with sound and solid advice for the most part. But rather than telling average American people they should be buying stocks and 1031's etc the emphasis should be left on saving more and investing with guaranteed returns and spending less money.

Of setting your life up for the best possible financial outcomes is important and needs to be ingrained in the mind of anyone who wants to be financially responsible.

Bottom line: if you feel you are lacking understanding in these areas read this book.

This book gives general finance principles in the first few chapters, and the later chapters are impractical and boring, they seem as if they are written to fill up pages, Kiyosaki always talks about making more money ,... read full review
