Summary: Best financial book I have ever read!
Review: If you've ever read a financial book like "The Millionare Next Door", or, "The Richest Man in Babylon", and felt there was still something missing, this book will tie it all together for you. If you've got high-income friends who are still poor, recommend this to them.

Summary: Back to Basics Book on How the Rich Became Rich
Review: I like to thank Mr Robert Kiyosaki for a GREAT book!!! His basics on how the rich operates is easy to understand and it does not keep dwelling on how positive thinking/motivation tapes/get rich books can make anyone get rich! Immediately bought his other book "If you want to be rich and happy, don't go to school?" which is a perfect 10 too. Have just been to the Money & You course that he recommended (and also took many years back) and my knowledge of how money works has increased 100-fold! Have bought more copies of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and am passing the wisdom around to my friends. My next purchase will be the game he created called "CASHFLOW" which is supposed to teach you about how money works. The one phrase in the book that should get anyone out there to want to read his book is "Don't work for money, let money work for you". Fan for Life P/S I don't work for Kiyosaki (but oh how I wish!) or any bookstore promoting his work.

Summary: I've been doing it wrong for too long ...
Review: This book shows me in diagrams, examples, and stories how I have created my financial situations. I have done what my parents have told me, go to school, get a degree, get a job and then retire. Boy, have they been off. After reading this book I only want to do what everybody else isn't! Learn for knowledge, be not afraid of money, and go out and create a successful side business. From now on my mentors are going to be only the people who have been successful in whatever I am undertaking. I choose not to listen to another cynic!
This book is great! I plan to read it again and again to make sure I have not missed anything from a mentor.

Summary: A must read for getting ahead in todays market.
Review: Very well written, with great examples. Once you start you dont want to put the book down. It gives you a new way to look at things. Very thought provoking. This should be taught in our school system, along with the basics.

Summary: Logical and not your usual ra ra rubbish
Review: I read this book in one day. The points it makes, make logical sense without all the usual bull you have to get through in other self-help books. I wish the author was teaching in Australia - I would be sure to go to his classes. The book gives a clear picture of how we all make the same mistakes financially which prevent us form making money. I will certainly be reading the book again and starting to invest in the same way.

Summary: It's interesting at least and life changing at best
Review: I like this book because it is not a how to get rich quick scheme book. It dwells correctly on misperceptions about money, assets and liabilities. Maybe a bit repetitive at times though. But good clear explanation throughout and easy to read. Overall a valuable "liability" to purchase ? ;-)

Summary: Forget what school taught you, this is how it really is!
Review: If you were ever interested in why the rich get richer and the poor and middle class struggle; see chapter 3, lesson 2. It is two years of college accounting in a few pages of easy to understand language and diagrams. It challenges the reader to consider what is actually an asset and a liability. This is what separates the classes.

Summary: current family & young adult financial basics
Review: Next to religion, the success of our children and our family's financial safety are our most important concerns. I lost my job 13 years ago, my brother-in-law has lost his twice in the last decade, and our son-in-law lost his when his workplace burned down. Each of these events caused a financial crisis for us, a crisis because, in part, we did not know and do what this book teaches. The major points of this book are presented in diagrams and this was critical to us, because, like most people, much of our family can't make sense of numbers and time. Just like the author, we learned from our educated parents what to NOT do financially, because what we learned was what worked in the 1950's and 1960's. It doesn't work now and we needed to relearn, beginning with the basics found in this book. Highly recommended for all families and young adults.

Summary: The rules of money that the rich play by.
Review: I am greatly concerned by the growing gap between the "haves" and "have nots." In the next few years there will be great economic and political upheavals. Many of today's "haves" will join the "have nots." There will also be many more ultra-rich "haves" created. Great new fortunes are being made as we enter an age of unprecendented abundance and prosperity.
Today, a great education is more important than ever before. But to continue to advise a child to simply, "Study hard, get good grades, and find a secure job," could be the most dangerous advice a parent could give a child. If a child follows that advice, they will probably wind up working harder, being paid less, paying more than their fair share in taxes, and remain in a high risk position of financial uncertainty.
As I said, the rules have changed. This book will teach you the rules of money that the rich play by. They are not the same. May you find some new ideas from reading this book. Ideas by which you can insure greater economic security for you and those you love for generations to come.

Summary: What the Rich teach their kids about money.
Review: I want my children to get the best education possible. Traditional schooling, while very important, is no longer enough. They need to understand money and how it works.
We as parents, must bring the power of education back to the home and teach our children about money and how to make it, invest it, and have it work for them instead of against them. This book provides an easy approach to learning the fundamentals of achieving financial security. Read it and have your children read it, and you will be taking the first step toward financial freedom.
