This is an awsome book. So well written. So much information. Thank you Robert. Thank you Rich Dad. Happy Valentines Day everyone.
Rating:  Summary: Love the CD. Great material! Review: While the book is great, you have to hear this program on a high quality CD. Great education while you are driving around in your car---beter than hearing the rapes, murders, robberies and accidents and other negative crap on the radio. Even if you own the book, get the CD. It is outstanding!
Rating:  Summary: Powerful advice ---Happy V-Day Rich Dad! Review: Anyone who uses the advice contained in Rich Dad Poor Dad will positively impact their financial lives. This book has not remained a best seller this long for no reason. The definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing and expecting a different result. Rich Dad Poor Dad will tell you some things that are different from what you may have been taught by tradition. But how well is that traditonal education working for you? Read and learn and then profit.

Rating:  Summary: Changed my life Review: Almost 4 years since I read the book, and the financial revolution in my life is ongoing, based on ideas I took from this book. Very recommended!
Rating:  Summary: Master Your Money Review: Household debt has doubled since 1990 and nearly 1-7 American families are filing for bankruptcy. Considering how many people are going broke, financial literacy should be taught in our schools and books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" should become mandatory reading. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the book, gives great advice, tools and wisdom on how to survive and thrive in most any economy. Kiyosaki teaches by contrasting his two fathers, a rich one and a poor one and their relationship with money. Both had successful careers, worked hard all their lives and earned substantial incomes. Yet one struggled financially and the other became rich. Kiyosaki breaks all the myths about money. He says, "The most dangerous advice you can give your child today is, "Go to school, get a good grades and look for a safe job." The lives of his two fathers illustrate his point. His poor Dad had a Ph.D. and died owing bills. His rich Dad never finished the 8th grade and died leaving millions. His poor Dad said, "I can't afford it" and put his brain to sleep, whereas his rich Dad said, "How can I afford it? And exercised his brain. His poor Dad said study hard and find a good company to work for. His rich Dad said study hard so you can find a good company to buy. Kiyosaki points out that schools are designed to produce good employees instead of employers. His poor Dad knew how to work for money whereas his rich Dad learned to have money work for him. He also knew how to invent money and it is not how much money you make but how much money you keep that is important. He was very clear that you pay yourself first, that you buy assets and not liabilities and that there is power in using a corporation as a tax shelter. He changed the focus from borrowing money to creating money to get the things he wanted. His poor Dad lived in fear while his rich Dad harnessed the power of letting go of fear by confronting his own neediness, weaknesses and greed. He knew the way out was through his mind by choosing what he thought rather than reacting to his emotions. Kiyosaki recommends we work more for what we can learn than what we can earn and above all that we understand the power of money and how it works.
Rating:  Summary: Great book about money. Change your view. Review: When you start your working life and start supporting yourself (and family for some), all you can ever think of is money money money - "how do i pay the next bill thats coming?", "how am i going to pay for the car insurance?", "will i be able to put my children to a good private school and university?".
This book really changed my view about money. Its not about greed at all, its about a quality of life for yourself and the people you love. I used to think money is not spiritual. Then when I started my working life, I understand how hard my parents must have worked to put me through university in a foreign country. I start to understand how many people have spent their entire life working in a job, just to support the people they love, to give their kids a better life.
Being poor and in a condition of lack is not spiritual. The Divine is abundance, not lack. Being in want is not divine. We live in a material world, where everything from the place you live,your health, the advice and time you need from other people, the food and water you eat and drink- all these (except the air you breathe)requires money. When the religious and spiritual people like Mother Teresa, charities, YOUR church, etc want to do their work, they need money. And where do they get it from? - rich people. By having more than enough, you can help yourself, the people you love, and other people as well. It's certainly better than being someone who requires help from charity or the government to support their very existence.
This book will show you that spending your life working in a job will get you nowhere. Nobody gets wealthy by living in a job. In fact, many millionaires called J.O.B. as "Just Over Broke" -living from paychecks to paychecks. Kiyosaki tells of a story about 2 men, 1 highly educated with a phd, and another who only had high school education. Yet the phd ended up broke, while the other becomes extremely wealthy. Read this book and learn as much as you can to have abundance, it will change your financial path for the better.
Rating:  Summary: Kick your ego aside and start making real money Review: I know a lot of people who refuse to change with the financial environment. They are always talking about how they work so hard and such and such barely works and make tons of money. It is becuase they are stuck in the 50's concept of breaking your back and living month to month. It is the middle class trap. Then there are the psuedo intellects who say that money is the root of all evil, yet they are depressed, paralyzed by their lack of income and cynical of those that make decent money. My dad is the outside the box thinker when it comes to money and has instilled the risk needed in becoming wealthy. I work a job I am passionate about and then my business is making investments and money. People think that objects will buy happiness...which is so wrong. If I have this shirt my life will be so great, if I have this car things will really come together. That is true inslavement, going out and getting creative is freedom. I am only in my mid twenties, and I have used this method to make investments from a young age. This has allowed my to travel the world and go after my dreams. Don't let your ego paralyze you...ask for advice, talk to people that have money. Check out this book and shift your way of thinking to one of risk and financial freedom. At that pointmoney won't control you, you will control it.
Rating:  Summary: shallow Review: there is more to life than money. what needs to be changed is the entire system, not peoples' spending and saving habits. this book is a crock.
Rating:  Summary: Waste Of Money Review: This guy is a con-artist. Just watch any of the news shows he's appeared on, every one of them tore him apart and made him look like the snake oil salesman he is.
