Summary: You can't without
Review: I listened to the tapes and they totally changed my perception of how I view money. I did not know what was a liability and and asset. It was really an eye opener for me. The good thing is I am just starting in in the work industry!

Summary: Tells you everything but the hard part....
Review: This book is full of little anecdotes that can be summed up in a few words: "in order to be wealthy, come up with a great business idea, incorporate, and work for yourself". The entire book repeats on this theme without giving any new insights on how to develop a "great" business idea or how to implement it.My advice - your first step to financial freedom... save your money, don't buy this book. Also, Kiyosaki, the author himself is not as wealthy as he claims to be. Do some research for yourself and see what I mean. Like the book, the author is rife with contradictions.

Summary: worthless
Review: This book is as worthless as any other "get rich" book out there. If this book "changes your life" as previous reviews state, then you have some serious issues. Honestly, this book could have been condensed into about 10 pages, but Kiyosaki continues to ramble on with cute little stories, cliché quotes, and "motivational" examples. He is so redundant that even if you are so thick headed that you haven't picked up his point by the tenth time he's said it, DON'T WORRY, he's going to say it another 10 times. This book is no different from those ridiculous advertisements on tv at 2 in the morning where that little guy bounces around and says "I've made millions by putting tiny ads in newspapers... and you can too!" The only person making any money here is Kiyosaki, who chose yet another titillating title to woo buyers into thinking they (the "poor and middle class") are missing out on some "monumental" secret. Get real. All his "secrets" are hinted at: buy real estate, invest in small corporations, become your own corporation... there is no real substance beyond, like I said, 10 pages. In his book, he says, "save your money and find yourself a good accountant". Excellent advice Robert. Skip this book and save your money for a more worthwhile read or council.

Summary: Was this the bait or the catch?
Review: The concepts could be life changing for many, but I felt like I was reading the marketing materials for the rest of the author's products.

Summary: Great Book for parent's own education
Review: Myself being a solid C- student & having parents who believed that school and education was the most solid investment to succeed. I just wish they had read this book 15 years ago. I would have had an easier time and most likely been a better performer academically. Although my spelling still suckks :) Living by the principles that our government sets forth and not to indulge or think freely is the basis of most American's. This book will hopefully put those common "principles" on a backburner for a few decades. If so, I am willing to bet that the level of innovation and creation in the minds of young people everywhere will spur like a batch of rabbits. Buy this book for your best interest.

Summary: Rich thoughts and enlightening perspectives
Review: Rich Dad, Poor Dad was not a rocket-science book yet I found it profoundly true in its positive nature. I won't attempt to reiterate all of the lessons of the book here but one of the greatest bits of information that that author shares is the importance of an "I can" versus "I can't" attitude. I also felt that his approach was multifaceted versus an infomercial on "get rich in 30 days." One final lesson that I felt was important...that one was of being financially knowledgeable and to be able to assess risks in a more constructive, educated manner. Our schools currently teach a lot of theories and models yet not the real world knowledge. You have to be thirsty as a lifelong learning to gain this knowledge. Overall, an enjoyable book. As a result, I've taken strides to eliminate what I call "stupid debt" like credit cards and high interest loans and aggressively save for property investments. This book is a must read! Andrea

Summary: A disappointing read
Review: This book left me frustrated. It tells all about what you *should* do and *should* get in order to have a cycle of passive income, but does not tell you HOW!Anyone with an interest in finances already knows what they should do and should have. What's the "down & dirty" of HOW?

Summary: Makes you think about how most people waste money
Review: I found this book to be quite valuable. I made my son read it before buying a car which I felt was beyond his repayment ability. The parts about putting your money into things that create more money instead of things that just depreciate and put you further in debt was right on. Our children are urged to get a job as they get older but we just don't teach them what to do with the money they earn. I recommend this book to those who would like to rethink their financial situation.

Summary: Learn how to make money work for you not work for money
Review: I had the pleasure of listening to this book through it's books on tape version. For one, I do not think I would of finished this book if I had to read it. Probably would of cut it short after chapter 2. What did i get out of from this book? To be honest not a lot. This book was filled with so many generalized ideas and preachings that I constantly was searching for specific, concrete ideas that I may apply to my life in order to help myself with my financial goals. "Always remember, make money work for you, don't work for money". This is what the book kept saying but I never got a clear picture on how to accomplish that. Maybe I wasn't listening too carefully. Another preaching was "to buy assets not liabilities". All the preachings made common sense, but the concrete solutions and support for these sayings were not there for me. Maybe because the ideas and teachings this book had to offer were too general. I kind of agree with those who said that alot of this book consists of generalized ramblings. Me being 24 years old, i guess I lack the patience and money management experience to really understand what the author is trying to say. I started listening to this book with the attitude that you can not teach people how to get rich. And my attitude still stands today. rk
