One dad, a Ph.D. and superintendent of education, never had enough money at the end of the month and died broke. His other dad dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Rich Dad, Poor Dad will explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich, challenge the belief that your house is an asset, show parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money, define once and for all an asset and a liability, and teach you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success. In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki explains how to make your money work hard for you instead of you working hard for money. ]]> 69571 38 3366043 1997 Rich Dad, Poor Dad total:7011|5:1668|4:2161|3:2081|2:794|1:307| 7011 25122 9180 1259 600 3.62 11021 1768 602 3.69 4141 555 4410080 271413 291447 0446677450 9780446677455 184 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173459666m/291447.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173459666s/291447.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/291447.Rich_Dad_Poor_Dad_What_the_Rich_Teach_Their_Kids_About_Money_That_the_Poor_and_Middle_Class_Do_Not_ 3.57 974 1997 1 18 false Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Aug 11 17:40:06 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 17 04:46:26 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1467545 84023 291447 0446677450 9780446677455 184 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173459666m/291447.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173459666s/291447.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/291447.Rich_Dad_Poor_Dad_What_the_Rich_Teach_Their_Kids_About_Money_That_the_Poor_and_Middle_Class_Do_Not_ 3.58 7011 1997 2 11 false Sat May 26 22:39:52 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 16 20:10:11 -0800 2009 more...]]> 15175948 894119 69571 0751532711 9780751532715 967 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170709707m/69571.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170709707s/69571.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69571.Rich_Dad_Poor_Dad 3.58 5525 Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L.
