Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki PDF | English | packed to 1.0MB | 130 pages
One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home, not in school. Most of us learn about money from our parents. So what can a poor parent tell their child about money? They simply say "Stay in school and study hard." The child may graduate with excellent grades but with a poor person's financial programming and mind-set. It was learned while the child was young.
Money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills. This explains how smart bankers, doctors and accountants who earned excellent grades in school may still struggle financially all of their lives.
Most people never study the subject [money]. They go to work, get their paycheck, balance their checkbooks, and that?s it. On top of that, they wonder why they have money problems. Few realize that it?s their lack of financial education that is the problem.
The book does a fantastic job teaching how to think about work and money.Many people love this book for teaching them how they they're supposed to think about moneybut if you ask them what they've done to get there, in my experience, the people who rave about this book haven't done much. I'd recommend this book as an excellent way to challenge your thinking about work and money, but only if you combine it with other books that make tactical recommendations of financial issues.
