Explains what to teach your kids about money—so they can be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of today's world and enjoy the rich life they deserve

"An invaluable book I wish I had read at 18. Now, at 61, with some savings, but no "assets"according to the author's definition. He really pushes using your money early in life to build assets that pay you in cash flow (such as rental properties and businesses), No argument there, a good plan. He also believes in investing in stocks and small companies. His writing enthused me to get to work, as even at my age, it is not too late. What he may be overlooking is that some people do NOT want to utilize his approach. For instance, my wife had a fulfilling 30 year career in the air force, saving and investing and counting on her pension... and according to him she went by the Old World way, NOT recommended. But for her, she is happy and pretty well situated, retired at 50. I did run my own businesses as the author states, even held assets as he directs, but failed in one part of his lessonry... to protect my money and build on it. He also states that an employee should make you something like 10x what they cost you, and to me, that seems like an unbalanced and unfortunate way to treat the human being you team with. If they are making you that much money, shouldn't it be shared with them?!! As he is wealthy, I can't and wouldn't argue most of the philosophy presented..."

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

"Very eye opening and consistent with all of his other books. I have a MUCH better understanding of finances. I do believe my financial IQ has grown! Thanks Robert!"

Mr.Gift, Amazon reviewer

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.

"Don't waste your time on this book unless you are willing to step forward and improve your life. Robert Kiyosaki continues to speak truth and provide crucial information for people to better themselves and their financial situation."

Customer, Amazon reviewer

Mind your own business

Just because you have a profession, doesn't mean it's your business. Financial struggle is often the direct result of people working all their lives for someone else. Discover the difference to live a life of abundance.

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've read several comments on how his style of writing is repetitive and doesn't give definitive answers; that's the whole point. It takes self awareness to realize that you have to do the work to learn and seek help if you want success. I'd read something else if you're looking for black and white answers from any of his books."

Gheri, Amazon reviewer

The rich invent money

It's not the smartest who get ahead but the bold. Discover your genius and convert fear into power and brilliance.

Work to learn—don't work for money

The world is full of highly educated people. Perhaps you're one of them. But getting good grades in school doesn't necessarily equate to a rich life. Uncover the one skill that can make or break your financial life.

"Over delivered!!! No fluff. Contains practical hard hitting proven stratagies that we can apply right away. This book should be a "manditory" reading in our schools. In a country as prosperous as ours have been, it's sad that so few of us are exposed to this critical information earily in life. What a difference it would make. Thank you Robert Kiyosaki for this eye opener! Will be re-reading this one over and over!"

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.
