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

""This is a must-read book from Robert Kiyosaki and Ted Seidel. They unveil the truth about the scams that are being perpetrated by Wall Street, the US government and how we are all being severely exploited so a few can get obscenely rich, all at our expense. So much so, that it will probably be a big part of the greatest depression in world history. And this will most likely lead to the greatest transfer of wealth in history as well. I get what some reviewers are saying about Kiyosaki pushing his 'Rich Dad narrative', but this is just one book against the deluge of mainstream propaganda that we are all inundated with. And that propaganda creates beliefs in the majority of people that directly leads to the exact situation that we find the world in, and that is vividly described in this excellent book. Kiyosaki is trying real hard to wake people up from their propaganda-induced lethargy, and that requires repetition. Many people are going to be steamrolled by what is happening that is a direct result of what they talk about in this book. Everybody needs to read, understand, and ACT on this information! Everyone will be affected by this whether or not you personally have a pension. It's time for people to start standing up, face reality and get into positive action to start correcting the misconceptions we believe and to start fighting back against those who seek to steal our wealth. They're not going to stop if we don't stop them.""

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

"Makes you double think your path and investigate your current situation. A Must read for every employee & retiree."

Bstrong, 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.

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.
