Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About ... (ISBN 0446677450)

Time Has Made It Even Better!:
If you, as I, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" years ago, read it again, now! On the other hand, if you never read it before; click the "Add To My Cart" button before you draw your next breath. Robert Kiyosaki's message has never been more relevant than today! He confronts the concept of your home being your greatest asset. If that's the case, Kiyosaki says, "You're in trouble!" Eight years ago, many screamed heresy. Today, it is simple fact. Our education consists of the wrong lessons, he writes, such as the value of seeking job security with a major Wall Street corporation. Fast forward to the meltdown and Kiyosaki's a genius. Item after item, this book hits the bull's-eye with relevance. If you are looking for a way to prosper when facing today's problems, read, or reread this book. Like a fine wine, the passing of time has only made it better! Stanley J. Kazwell, Jr. Author of THE MORTGAGE MELTDOWN: The Mindsets That Got Us Here and What You Can Do About It.

Paid book but never received:
Great disappointment because I never received this order. I could not even know how to file a report. Thanks for this opportunity

Not a bad book but...:
Here's what no one else has picked up on. The author tells you a number of stories and learning lessons from his early childhood, He remembers the experiences WORD FOR WORD. Now I don't know about you, but I certainly do not remember conversations "word for word" from when I was 9 yrs old, especially about investing. I think the author wanted to teach readers about money & investing in such a way that a child could understand.

Educational:
A very good book, and very applicable. Definitely recommend the follow-on books in the series as well as the game (they actually have a board game that teaches how to get rich). The principles are amazingly simple -- understanding liabilities versus assets and recognizing that the truly rich often don't appear rich at all; and the truly poor sometimes seem to have everything -- until you look at their cash flow. Educational for sure, highly recommend!

Don't Stop Here:
I've read over a few negative comments that people have posted in regard to this book. While they all have valid claims I believe they miss the big picture. Nowhere in the book does the author make the claim that this book will make you money, quite the contrary in fat. He tells you to learn how to make money. This is a not a guide to making money but it definitely changed my outlook on the way I view money. It was an eye opener for me. Before reading this book I felt like others about investing "its too risky" "I work to hard for it" etc etc. This book opened my eyes and pointed out that if I fail, the worst thing that will happen is that I will have a debt on my shoulders, and let's face a large majority of Americans have debt and they didn't even try to make money. Now granted I'm young and can afford to take a hit or two, but it is true that we learn from our failures and this book inspires you to get over your fear. But I repeat Robert Kyosaki does not claim that this book is the only book to read, he encourages you to learn about money yourself and then attempt to build your fortune. This book inspired me to learn more and that is what I'm doing right now.
