Rating:  Summary: Thank you for writing this book. Review: Lately, I've only given David Siegel books 5 stars.SYNOPSIS: Just received this book Friday. Ordered all his other books Saturday. This is one of those earth-shattering books that sneaks up on you and in a friendly way, grabs you by the lapels and shouts, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? " And then he explains to you what you're doing, and why you don't have to do that - he describes sensible alternatives to the mindless fear. I was right about something. I'm happy to report that. Specializing isn't the wisest move. Knowing a lot about a lot is. To the writer: Thank you, Professor. Your effort is deeply appreciated.
Rating:  Summary: Where was this book 15 years ago? Review: This book is a must read for everyone over the age of 15. I wish that I would have had this information, strategy and approach to $$ back them....no time like the present to change. Reading this well written book has change how I look at $. As a result of reading this book I have developed a solid strategy and now feel that I'm well on the way to escaping the rat race. Thank you Robert for writing this book and sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
Rating:  Summary: You Can Do It! Review: This is likely the best non-fiction book I have read. Of course, it requires an open and receptive mind, but the financial education is worth its weight in gold. If you have had generations of paycheck-to-paycheck income, you absolutely must read this book. You will understand what you knew all along, but were afraid to live it.
Rating:  Summary: Rich Dad, poor Dad Review: This book should be mandatory reading for every child in high school. It shows the difference in thought patterns and attitude that make all the difference between a j.o.b. (just over broke) and being financially independent and living the life you want and deserve.
Rating:  Summary: An explanation of our success! Review: Mr Kiyosaki goes a long way to explaining why we have more money while sailing around the world on our yacht (not working) than we did with combined salaries of over $150K/year as employees! We started out 6 years ago with enough money to live for 2 years and now have enough that we may never work again. All by doing what "seemed right at the time". Getting here was largely luck and hard work, keeping "the good times rolling" will take some knowledge about money as he points out. The book is not an ending, but a beginning. I am logged on right now specifically to buy a copy of this book for my son back home in Phoenix AZ. In reading the other reviews I notice several who totally miss the point of the book. This book is NOT about investment "tips" or even about investing, rather it is about ways to train YOURSELF to invest successfully! This is done very well.
Rating:  Summary: The Teacher Has Appeared Review: I have become a Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and CashFlow Quadrant believer and evangelist. Quite frankly, I couldn't put down either book and have undertaken the task of moving to the right side of the quadrant at lightspeed. I've also recommended both books to friends, and purchased copies of Rich Dad, Poor Dad for my teenage children. After reading Robert's books, it's like a light bulb went off. I now "GET IT", and am in the process of trying to help others do the same. Thanks Robert and Sharon for some lifechanging insights that go beyond the "what to do" by simply and succinctly explaining "how to do" and "why to do".
Rating:  Summary: Rich Dad Poor Dad Review: This book has changed my whole perspective on my financial future - it is a must read for anyone serious about understanding their finances and the direction they want to take them.
Rating:  Summary: Rich Dad, Poor Dad Review: It is that book that humbles the individual, it triggers us to take a good look at ourself, evaluate our situation and demands a CHANGE mode if we admit that we have been in the "Rat Race" all this while. I have changed and although it was tough initially and now enjoying a new lease of life not having to worry so much about the daily don'ts but focusing on tomorrows do's. Read it for your self and hopefully it will help find a better and happier U.
Rating:  Summary: A book for financial freedom Review: Rich Dad, Poor Dad is one of the few books which challenges Americans to break the mold. The book brings out several issues which Americans have held true through the years. The years of working a job and having the company take care of you are gone. The book outlines for those who are disciplined how to become financially independent. A MUST READ BOOK for everyone who can read.
Rating:  Summary: A waste of time. Review: The author states that time is your most valuable asset and I feel indignant that he wasted mine. He states a few common sense points about wealth accumulation and spends the rest of the time boasting of his wealth and suggesting HIGHLY speculative investments for his readers. I think the man was just lucky and would certainly NOT advocate following his advice on buying penny stocks.
