Teaches why acquiring and building assets can be more important to your future than a big paycheck—and the tax advantages investors and business owners enjoy

"I love this book for so many reasons and intuitively felt similar, but didn't know why. Kiyosaki makes it black and white and the icing on the cake is this book is AMAZING cause it gives credibility to what my profession is. We teach the importance of gold and silver and based on Robert Kiyosaki's writings, I am one of the REAL teachers. I love all of Robert's books, but this one really will wake you up to what's going on in the monetary system, education system and more. It gives you back the power."

Start minding your own business. Keep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities or personal effects that have no real value once you get them home. A new car loses nearly 25 percent of the price you pay for it the moment you drive it off the lot. It is not a true asset even if your banker lets you list it as one. My $400 new titanium driver was worth $150 the moment I teed off.

Why teach financial literacy?

Answer: Because financial education isn't taught in school.

Uncover the truth behind the saying "it's not how much you make but how much you keep" that makes people rich.

""Robert Kiyosaki has been mentoring me from afar for almost 2 decades now. Every thing I have learned about money from Mr.Kiyosaki... I am able to implement, make money and work towards Financial Freedom. Mr. Kiyosaki teaches vales for life and skills for contributing, living abundantly. He keeps his lessons simple and I am able to share his ideas and concepts to students in high school. School in America do a poor job of teaching students about money. Probably more intentional than ignorantly. If we understand what we are leaning and doing, what we learn and do will stick more. As Mr. Kiyosaki share in the book, education is left over after we have forgotten everything we have learned in school. This is another must read assignment for my son, and I hope for you and your children too. P.S. Invest in REal (Real Estate)assets."

The history of taxes and the power of corporation

Was Robin Hood a saint or a crook? How you answer that question could explain your financial status. Understand why it's the poor and middle-class that pays the most in taxes and how to pay taxes like the rich instead.

"I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars! Thank you Robert for publishing this work. This book has answered questions I have wondered for years.... Anyone who states ""this book repeats itself"" likely did not understand what the author was trying to convey. Anything that is repeated must be repeated because it is important. Additionally, Robert's analogies can be used more than one to explain a concept and Robert does a FANTASTIC job at doing that. As someone who's been interested in finance ever since I was told to open up a Roth IRA, this book FINALLY answered questions I have wondered for years including: how does bitcoin fit into the world of money; why does the stock market continue to go up; why is there such an increase in the stock market in the 90's along with more volatility; why is money not taught in school; where does money actually come from... I could go on and on. Anyway, if you REALLY want to understand finance, read this book! Some of the story and truths will blow your mind. I would recommend reading Rich Dad Poor Dad first because it helps to be in that mindset when you read this book (aka the rich do not work for money; the rich buy assets - the poor and middle class buy liabilities, etc), but if you have a solid financial background, then get reading. I am so happy I did!"

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.

In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.
