Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich
Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his
unique economic perspective from two very different influences -- his two
fathers. One father (Robert`s real father) was a highly educated man, but
fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert`s best friend -- the
Dad who was an eighth grade dropout who became a self-made multi-millionaire.
The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" pounded home the
counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad." Taking that message to heart,
Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad opens readers eyes
by:
· exploding the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich
· challenging the belief that your
house is an asset
· defining once and for all an asset
versus a liability
· explaining what kids need to know
about money for their future financial success
