    <![CDATA[Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his &quot;poor dad&quot; (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his &quot;rich dad&quot; (that &quot;the poor and the middle class work for money,&quot; but &quot;the rich have money work for them&quot;). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. <em>Rich Dad, Poor Dad</em>, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of &quot;financial literacy&quot; that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. <em>--Howard Rothman</em>]]>
