Summary: Simple lessons that make sense
Review: Information on Amazon and the previous reviews led me to buy this book. The lesson Kiyosaki is pushing is enlightening regarding reconsidering your definitions of assets. Some of his examples (low priced IPOs, half price real estate) may not seem realistic in today's market but that's not his point. Kiyosaki wants us to rethink how we proceed in any deal (stock, real estate, etc.). I'll give it a thumbs up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you think your house is an asset, you need this book!
Review: Don't take your advice from thousandaires, take it from millionaires. This book changed the way I look at my own personal "balance sheet". I was one of those who thought a house was an asset before reading this book. I loved it so much I bought his second book, Cashflow Quadrant. Both books were recommended to me by people who are already millionaires. Be careful who you take your advice from. Play his game, also, it's eye-opening.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eye-opening/motivating information!
Review: I read a lot of books on investing,saving,and retiring early, but this is the first one that actually taught me how to make my money work FOR me. When you consider buying something, always ask yourself, "Is this income-generating?" I'd always thought of my home as an asset, but this book taught me otherwise. I have since purchased two rental properties and highly recommend this quick-read for anyone open-minded enough to read past how the author made his fortune and who is willing to find a way to make his/her own!

Summary: A Letter, or at most, Legal size of paper should be enough
Review: A cup of milk is nutritious. A cup of milk in 10 lb of water give you almost the same nutrition, if not more. But what do you feel?

The author does have a good idea or two, but he IS a salesman. He promot them in a misleading way just like all the want-get-rich-guys you can see on TV commercials. Haven't we already see some people quickly figure out, after reading his book, that they should not go to college, but instead, getting rich quick by managing smart people.

It's true that Bill Gates dropped out of Harward and becomes the richest man, but that doesn't mean every out-of-schools can become Bill Gates -- You have to be smart enough to get in there anyway.

Like an old saying, learn swim in the water -- The result may vary, you are warned. Make sure you have a rich dad taking care of you. Good luck.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Have
Review: This book realy open my eyes to my spending habits and how my 'investments' will actually bring me down. This is not a get rich quick book as some would say. I have also read the Millionare next door and the conclusion is the same. A must have for everyone who wants to be rich

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: An awful tele-commercial for his expensive seminars
Review: Don't buy this book. It says nothing, except you need the authors help. He wants you to spend money on education (that he sells). He made his money in Arizona real estate in the mid 80's (that boom is over). Now he's on to the 90's boom, of selling ideas (of prosperity). He also has a $200 board game for sale. The order form is at the back of the book. He says he's 'retired'. So, writing books and board games, having training seminars is 'retired'?. Give me a break!! He's not retired. He acts like he's doing us a favor, selling us his ideas. Be afraid, be very afraid.

If you want to understand the ways of the wealthy, read 'The Millionaire Next Door'. That's a 10 year study of American businesses and workers. 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is the same stuff as Wade Cook.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cange your life.
Review: Im 18 years old, my Dad gave me the book to read and with it I learnt an incredible amount. After reading the book I am confident I will be able to lead a financially rich and happy life.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Solid Ideas, with an Occassional Extreme View Thrown In
Review: Good, solid ideas, with a refreshing definition of "assets." My only caution is that Kiyosaki's recommendation to eschew traditional investments in favor of more aggressive (i.e., speculative) investments may hurt those just starting out. (Granted, Kiyosaki warns readers that they need to educate themselves first, I just wonder if readers will take it to heart, or jump into speculative waters in their exuberance.)

I disagree with assessments that this is a get-rich-quick book. It took Kiyosaki to age 47 before he "retired," and he was working at it most of his life. Not exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. But that's what I like about the book--it's realistic. Just apply some common sense and follow Kiyosaki's advice to educate yourself before you risk your life's savings on a "killer deal."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for anyone aching to get out of middle-classdom!
Review: Robert Kiyosaki really breaks it all down for you, the average Joe! What I use to find very intimidating and difficult to comprehend became very easy and makes me look forward to "minding my own business"! I wholehearted recommend this book to anyone seeking to be rich.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BUY Thorstein Veblen to REALLY become wealthy!
Review: Don't be fooled by get-rich-quick books like this one. Become really rich by applying the priciples espoused by Veblen in 1899. Thorstein was a genuine academic - not a capitalistic author trying to get rich selling books!
