Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

Rating: 4.0/5 Stars

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.
