Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Any Good?

“The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money… but never learn to have money work for them”

Why is Rich Dad Poor Dad a world number one bestseller and why does it continually attract top ratings and excellent reviews at Amazon?

Quite simply because the author Robert T. Kiyosaki is writing from his own experience about a subject that should interest all of us - and especially visitors to this Website. That subject is money; or rather how we choose to obtain it in order to live our lives (or indeed just how we choose to live our lives).

Robert explains how as nine year old boys, he and a friend decided they wanted to become rich. The obvious place to turn for advice was to their fathers. From one corner they were told to work hard and get a good education so that they could get good steady jobs, and from the other they were told that good jobs were the last thing they needed if they wanted to become rich.

As you would expect, Rich Dad Poor Dad extols the merits of investing in property and the stock exchange. But this isn’t a 250 page economics lecture and it won’t bore you rigid with dry facts and figures about investment portfolios either. It is rather more of a novel than a book about business; although the lessons learned by the boys (and the reader) are solid foundations for accumulating wealth.

Through six powerful lessons we learn, amongst other things, why the rich don’t work for money and why the poor are sucked into a trap that means they spend their whole lives not just working hard, but also paying back most of what they earn in taxes.

CONCLUSION:
If you have ever wondered about developing passive income, paying less tax, or why the latest pay rise will never be enough then you should read this book. There is a trap that most of us are taught to fall into at an early age: And that is to get a good job and work hard until we retire – but there is another way and that is to learn what the rich teach their kids. Rich Dad Poor Dad reveals all.
