Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money
For years, Robert Kiyosaki has firmly believed that the best investment one can ever make is in taking the time to truly understand how one's finances work. Too many people are much more interested in the quick-hitting scheme, or trying to find a short-cut to real wealth. As Kiyosaki has preached over and over again, one has to truly under the process of how money works be...more

I enjoy Kioysaki's writing and his perspective, though I admittedly don't agree with him on every point. I think he makes some key points.
This particular book focuses significantly on the five key points of financial intelligence, as Kiyosaki sees them. They are:
1. Making more money
2. Protecting your money
3. Budgeting your money
4. Leveraging your money
5. Improving your financial information
He points out that most people are (relatively) strong in IQ #1 - they know how to work hard, etc. However,...more

Most all of the financial advice I have received or read or heard was "work hard, save money, get out of debt, live below your means, and invest in a well-diversified portfolio of mutual funds". This book is about Robert Kiyosaki calling bullshit on this. He says this is obsolete advice ever since the U.S. took the dollar off of the gold standard and when employees were forced into being investors of their retirement accounts.

I got a lot out of this book that I immediately put into action. Some of the long lasting effects this book has had on me are the ways I view my process of handling money. The steps are real simple and anyone can apply them as you go through the cycle of steps or perhaps work on one step and build it up it will increase your knowledge of money and your ability to grow your money. I know that all sounds a bit general but so was the book. The point is the basic and game plan were amazing and from...more
I think every person should read Rich Dad, Poor Dad as well as this book. I learned a lot and feel like I have a better idea of how I can make my money work for me. This is more of a 'theory' book (not step-by-step instructions), but it lays a great foundation for how to begin your own personal road for making money work for you. Although there is a WHOLE LOT of repetition (an obscene amount really), I have to admit that it definitely helped me remember a lot of what he was saying.

My Audible Review:
"Life is a Learning Adventure"
I definitely had to take notes while listening to this one! I really enjoyed the strategies that Robert shares, such as the three piggy bank technique for saving, investing, and tithing. If you have read any of Robert's books, you should definitely add this one to your library. You will learn what true intelligence is and gain a lot of knowledge about protecting, budgeting, leveraging, and making more money! If you really want to increase your fina...more

A book that breaks down the typical unknown concepts of the financial world, translates it for those who normally talk "deer-in-headlights" language, and gives out an idea of the world that you could be missing. One usually reads "Financial" and throws the book over the shoulder, perhaps even fall asleep.
"I don't care about it. I study hard. I've got a master's degree."
"I'm not stupid, I will pay my debts on time."
This book is not only for rich entrepreneurs. The average people who keep working...more

Very interesting. Not usually the kind of book I read - recommended by some patrons. Not crazy about the get-rich language - although that's the audience for this book. Lots of common sense advice, conversational tone, focused on the US so I'm not sure if some things are applicable to Canada.
Things I got out of it:
Reduce the amount of taxes you pay on savings.
Watch out for multiple recurring hidden fees in mutual funds.

I like how Kiyosaki breaks things down logically and step-by-step, so that people like myself who doesn't understand numbers and finance will be able to understand and comprehend. He uses little stories and analogies from his life and every day situations to explain the workings of money. Although this book has given me new insights and understandings into the world of how money works, I can't honestly say that I've learnt how to make good use of money or how to recognise a good opportunity when...more
This has been by far the best all round book that I have read on finance. He explains in simple terms what the economy is about, how banks operate and where the key strategies are in making investing effective. There are very good real estate tips in it too. The only downside for me was that he keeps on repeating himself from his previous books. It does make sense if someone has not read any of his other books but on book number 5 it gets a bit boring.
Tak už nejen Robert je genius, ale taky jeho žena Kim. A taky Warren. Protože nediversifikuje. Jo a je potřeba nezapomenout na to, že je potřeba dávat desátky církvi, to dělá každý úspěšný byznysmen. Jako třeba Robert. A už jsem říkal, že Robert je borec? A taky jeho žena Kim.

This is the second Rich Dad books that I have read. They are pretty easy reading and while some ideas are new to me, I see true principles being applied to learn about finances. It isn't in how much money you have but how much knowledge you gain...I ordered the Kids Cashflow game and plan on getting the adult versions at some point as well.
I was really excited to read this installment of the Rich Dad series. But, as ususal, the prose was long on the "why" and vacuous on the "what." I really expected a syllabus, at the very least, for a plan of self-study. But there is not a single shred of info that acutally increased my financial IQ.
It is an amazing book. To understand this book first read Rich Dad Poor Dad to get in to Robert Kiyosaki's philosophy and understand his terms. This book starts a whole new thinking process where in you can make smarter Financial Decisions and build & manage your Wealth in a better way.
A fantastic read and a must for anyone who is not only a robert kiyosaki author fan like myself , but interested in become really smart when it comes to handling ther emoney..whether you have buckets of it , or small, read this book

This book is a good consolidation, plus new add-ons, on Robert’s earlier sharing on financial education. This is a good starting read for readers who are never exposed to Robert’s works, and a good reflection tool for those RDPD believers. Recommended.
What I like most about Robert Kiyosaki's books is that he writes in short paragraphs and conveys his ideas without much blabber but with enough information for one to understand his point of views.
Although I really enjoyed "Rich Dad Poor Dad", but I was
disappointment from this one. Maybe because I expected some real
ideas that increases my financial knowledge but ended up reading a
general speaking thoughts. For me it looks like the author put most of
his knowledge, experience and prospective in the first book "rich dad
poor dad", thus writing this one was done mostly by a lot of general
speaking and repeating the first book ideas.
I don't recommend reading this one.

Woke me up to where I'm at financially. I really see the need to educate my children to be financially literate. By teaching them it reinforces what I should be focused on, buying assets.
its a good book, I think this is the conclusion book for all Rich Dad series. you can got to http://abprasbuk.blogspot.com to read my review on Indonesian language
Looks like a good read. I have started three "Cash-Flow" game clubs and am interested in helping youth gain more financial knowledge and skills.
This is a great book that i recommended all of you to read. A story that never told on your school that can improve your financial iq.
A lot like Kiyosaki's other financial-related books. That's not a bad thing so much as it is positive reinforcement of the ideas and themes that filter through the majority of his writing. Recommended for folks who want to make financial changes or think about their finances in a different way.
Nice book. I've learned a lot. Like if you've increase your financial IQ nothing on this world can stop you from getting financially advance than others. Its nice to learn from someone who dedicate his life to research this kind of stuff. more books to read. :D'
The best chapters for me were Chapters 9,10 & the Afterword. Brings to light simply & clearly what's happening to the world economy today.
Amazing book! It's a must read for anyone who wants to have financial freedom at any point in their life.
Good book with some new Ideas, but to commercial , he could do it better; but it worth to read
if you read his very first rich dad poor dad, you will find a lot of points repetitive
