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

    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.
  • Great financial advice!

    I know nothing about money, and when I did decide want to gain more knowledge this book came to mind. I always heard people talk about it, and took me years to finally to see what it’s about. It makes me want to hear more from the author, and even other investors. I am not the same person I was before. A 5 star book. When I do gain more knowledge I cant wait to come back to this book to relate to more of his words.
  • One Good Idea

    The book is mostly a bunch of made-up scenarios, but has a good underlying message of making money work for you instead of you working for money, by having your assets generate most of your income and reducing your liabilities/expenses on the way to building equity. Instead of reading the whole book, it might be better to just read an Investopedia article.

    Great book with awesome money lessons
  • Good Advice but a bit too promotional

    By Sompati
    There were some sound bits of advice but the message lacked nuance, as the author relied a bit too heavily on hos personal experience, particularly his successes, to generate generalized advice and takeaways. Author also does not contextualize the risk profiles of his investments.
