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.

Summary: A life changing book
Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad is truly a life changing book and is continuing to positively change the lives of millions of people all over America and the World.This book is the true story of Kiyosaki's 2 dad's, oe rich one and one poor one. Interesting is that the Poor Dad was actually highly educated and had all the appearances of what people associate wealth with.Rich Dad appeared poor initially but became wealthy by using the Rich Dad philosophy.This book is excellent and deservedly a best seller for all this time.

Summary: Greatly under rated book
Review: Althought his book is still obviously very popular, I still run into people who underestimate the value of Rich Dad Poor Dad.This book is based on the philosophy of success and that is what makes it so great. The great Jim Rohn says that philosophy is the whole basis of success. Philosophy determines your beliefs, your actions and therefore your outcomes. Unfortunately, too many people look at Rich Dad Poor Dad as some "get rich quick" book. I wish it was a "get rich quick" book. Becuase I would rather "get rich quick" than get rich slow or even worse not create wealth at all. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book and a must read for everyone who wants success.

Summary: Great eye opener to the reality of the rat race
Review: I am the poster child of Kiyosaki's rat race "failure." I got my Computer Science degree, and worked as a computer programmer for 10 years with a great salary. Despite my above average salary, it seemed that I was not really "getting rich" and barely saving anything. Then came the "offshore outsourcing" trend of corporate America (sending off service jobs to cheap labor countries as China and India). This trend hit me, and thousands of other Americans like an 18 wheeler. It has been well over a year since I was laid off, and my Computer Science degree can't help me find a job! If "offshore outsourcing" has not hit your profession yet, I advise you to examine whether it will. It will affect "stable" jobs such as accounting, since much of that work can be done overseas and sent back over the Internet. This book will show you how most people view their education/career path, which often means entering the "rat race" for life. Kiyosaki contrasts that with a less common view, that of an entrepeneur. Had I been more aware of how I was putting myself at the complete mercy of an employer, and had I realized the reality of how weak my job stability was, I would have long ago started planning for my own business. Kiyosaki has a very powerful message to tell us. I found this book very helpful in showing me how deep into the rat race I was. Another powerful message in this book is how the tax laws in America favor the rich. The middle class of America is under constant attack by taxation, yet the upper class jump through loop holes. If you need more concrete information, do a Google search on "stealth tax" to learn more about the unfairness of our tax system. This book was very easy to read, and it may change your view of your life. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Very sound flexible advice in this book
Review: First, I wanted to write this review because I am continually surprised by how many people claim Kiysaki says X is no good and everyone should run out and buy real estate and start business's etc. He gives very sound advice in this book and is meant more to build financial literacy about how to build a solid future by first building up income generating assets and then buying liabilities later when they can be supported by assets. He does not say it is bad to work a job, but simply that you are better off not relying on a job as your only income over long term. He very clearly states that Bonds, mutual funds and "anything else that has value, produces income or appreciates and has a ready market" is an asset that you should work to aquire. Yet, I have seen people argue how wrong he is to suggest people not buy mutual funds or bonds. He also tells people to not start their own business unless they are really serious about it because their odds of failure are so high etc. This is NOT a get rich quick guide or a my way is the only way type of book. For me it was an eye openner that changed the way I view my money, and how I spend vs. invest for the future. This book is not set on any one way of doing anything and that is why it is lean on specific advice. My only real criticism is that at times he seems to drag a point out in order to keep you hooked to buy his other books.

Summary: over-rated
Review: this book is way over-rated. most words in the book are fillers that most people would be aware of. there's one interesting lesson i've learnt from this book tho: A book without any substance, like this one, made quite a fortune for its author. how did this happen?
