[Tayyaba · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book teaches the principles:

1- Poor work for money but Rich have money work for them

2-Consistency..Being rich is not something new to the society but be consistent in your expenses is the sign of becoming rich

3- focuses on Assets and liabilities..Assets are the things which generates money without work and liabilities are debts and mortgaging So,Rich focuses on Assets while middle and poor class focuses on liabilities

4- Breaks the myth that " Our house is our biggest asset" with a logic that our houses doesn't generates money on its own while the real assets are those who generates money without work

5- Financial literacy

6- Have more skills than usually people have
