Rating:  Summary: get money all over again Review: the aurther takes a stroll down in reaveling the secret of money making it is piece of book. i was just a freshman studying Economics/Political Science in UNN when i got hold of the book. but by the time i could finish the introductory pages of the book, i became scared of dropping out of undergraduate school, thank God i am already out of High school because of my state of mind; since the question was not just education alone but rather, which one first, money or school. considering the fact that money wasnt thought in school only skills and professions are thought in colleges.sincerely, it was a controversial issue for me to decide what i really wanted in life, but as i begin to unenvelope the said book, my insights and by the time i finished the first chapter of the book, i say almost all the reasons i needed to make a choice of want in life. it became real to me why i should embrace both choices simultaneously. the book has eventually changed and transformed me for the better, it has opened my awareness into wealth and foresight to richness. it has expanded all my motives in life, my hopes and aspiration in wealth making rather than paying more taxes after school. you too can read it and grow bigger and better, infact Richard was lucky to have a rich and a poor father oh! how i wished i was like him having such fathers and the need to critique there advises instead of merely going to school for education sake, you can as well get rich by just reading a book. what a chance! well if you havent seen the book, then you havent seen anyhing yet and i mean it. This is Reality Beyond The Limits of Perspection; an Extraordinary Intellectual Energy for those who desire to get rich even without going to high school. think of Bill Gate (a drop out) Richard said it all.
Rating:  Summary: A Poor Kid's Opinion Review: Are you a risk taker or an observer? Do you want to endlessly work for money, or are you tired of it and want to learn the basics of how to make money work for you? I enjoyed reading the book as a result of it's simplicity in content, but thought that the explainations were repetitive and diagrams ineffective. It is a quick read with everyday language that requires little to no thinking on the part of a reader. This emphasizes the boook's main principle that wealth is no longer to be taught as only some far off illusion. Money management and financial planning skills aren't part of the current school curriculum, but with this book as a guildline young people can be introduced to the basics of the way out of the make money, spend money rat race. What's contained within the pages of this book? Intelligent money management begins with taking risks and learning to differentiate between assets and liabilities. Basially, assets make money and liabilities are those which require the use of one's money in order to function. The more assets, the more money in the long run. NO fear and outdated thoughts that only the rich get richer. The truth is, the rich get richer as result of the poor staying uninformed and lazy. Invest and dot waste money. Practice self discipline and get educated. keep options on how to make money visible, possible and open. Don't give up, it won't happen over night and above all use the knowlege you can find from anywhere or anyone about money managment to take action and make your life more enjoyble in the process.
Rating:  Summary: Rich Kid Poor Kid Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad not only teaches new ways to encounter money, but preaches a whole new lifestyle. YOu must change the way you live your life first and be open to learning new things before you want to learn to make and earn money. Kiyosaki teaches us that it's the little things we don't know that can make the different. That one little skill that can add an extra zero to our paychecks.
Rating:  Summary: Over Simplified but to the point Review: The book brought up a lot of good theories, but they all sounded too simple. Though the book was a quick read, it was also so repetitive that at times I got bored with reading the same thought written for fifteen pages when it should have only taken up one. The simplicity and repetiveness helped me understand the overall picture, so I guess it is a good starting book when dealing with investments and money issues.
Rating:  Summary: A risk most aren't willing to take Review: Mr. Kiyosaki writes about being willing to take risks to become rich. That the common person will often have and miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime because of that fear. The fear of knowing you won't be secure. The book is very interesting especially for young adults who still have the ability to take chances and be able to recuperate from any of them quickly. The book does a good job of giving the reader an overview of what it takes to be rich. The steps seem too simple to be true. I learned the difference betwwen an asset and a liability, which according to Kiyosaki is an important step in making the write decisions to becoming rich and most importantly staying rich.
Rating:  Summary: The Rich Dad, Poor Dad Review Review: I highly recommend this book readers of all ages. It is an easy read but very informative. It enables you to think of money in a way that is out of the ordinary. Becuase the author learned at such a young age it motivates teenagers that their money habits today will effect their tomorow. I am now aware of assest and liabilities and will rethink the way I spend my next pay check. This book made me realize that to get rich one must think and introspect. Once that is done and one is able to set aside money as well as properly invest wealth will come. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Rating:  Summary: Realistic Economic Basics for the Average Joe Review: The principals and lessons explained in Rich Dad, Poor Dad are important to financial autonomy. Robert Kiyosaki's stories tend to be long-winded and simplistic, yet successfully teach the basic economic thought behind becoming rich. With little or no application explained, Rich Dad, Poor Dad serves as a somewhat introductory book and is perfect for students or those not already in the know. Overall, the book is a pleasure to skim or read and is positive and simplistic.
Rating:  Summary: It was good Review: Kiyosaki did an amazing job teaching people about money. He uses simple language and understandable examples that anybody can understand. He has taught me so much about how i can become wealthy. All we need to do is become financial literate and not be scared to take a risk. Most people are scared to lose money and work for money. We must be like the rich and let money make money for us!
Rating:  Summary: Is this ever going to stop? Review: I am Utterly amazed that this Rich Dad will not go away. Robert Kiyosaki says the same thing in book after book. The advice is absolutely wrong many times. You cannot deduct items like gold watches and sports cars as deductible business expenses! The books are fun to read..most fantasy novels are, but don't take financial advice from the Rich Dad Books. Read or study a good book, one on discounted cash flows for instance, then use something like this for mental candy if you need to.
