Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
for being so uncomfortable with the book you managed to get some good 'meat/potato' information out of it. I enjoyed your review, except that I very much enjoy his books and find the no-nonsense approach very helpful.
I could relate to what matters is no so much that piece of paper but rather the common sense and logic lodged between your ears that makes the paper mean something. Neither of my degrees has ever managed to get me a dime but rather my professional reputation that has preceded the work that I have done over the years so I could do without the student loans since I seem to have done the work and toil to get where I am today.
Thanks again for the review - I enjoyed your thoughts.
I felt the same way you do at the begining , & I descovered he is right all the time thats my situation exactly , but I started to change the am thinking & now am financialy very good .
I shared this bcs I feel you maybe just like me

* Try to own things that put money in your pocket.
* If you rely on earning a wage or salary to put money in your pocket, you will be forever caught up in the vicious cycle of needing money, earning money and spending money.
There you go. That's the big message this book will impart to you, and it will do it slowly and repetitively in the first three chapte...more
