    5.0 out of 5 stars Real Financial Education is understanding how money flows
    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2019
    I love the way Mr. Kiyosaki writes. . . he explains complicated things so simply that a 6 year old can understand. My 3 biggest takaways from this writing are
    1) Understand the history of money manipulation sine 1913 when the Federal Reserve Bank and US tax department were created.
    2) A very simple and clear explaination of Assets and Liabilities that I can use to explain . . . Assest and Liabilities to my children and investors.
    3) Getting the right education, but more importantly cultivating an attitude of appreciation, a spirit of humilty, and love of learning.

    A safe & profitable way to apply what we have learned is to be an apprentice or partner up with someone who has done and achieved the desired results that you want to achieve.

    A fantastic follow up book to Rich Dad Poor Dad.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perspective Changing Book
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
    This is an excellent book that engages the reader into different perspectives of the lives of the rich, poor, and middle-class population. Robert T. Kiyosaki (author) explains why the rich make more money in an easily comprehensible way. This book uses credible sources to back up the author's claims. The book does have some grammatical errors throughout the book that could be confusing for some. If you are open to reading a book that questions your life's norms, then this is the book for you.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enough new/interesting material to recommend reading! - Try your local libray before buying!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
    This book had enough new information that it's worth reading - I would guesstimate it's about 25% new stuff.

    I guess I should qualify myself first - I'm a 65 male pharmacist (and my wife is a 60 year old pharmacist as well - she works at Eli Lilly). When we got married we had a negative net worth of around $50,000 (this was in 1982). I've owned several rental properties (mostly single family but some bigger stuff too). I've been both lucky and good - my most recent net worth is around 2.5 million. I did learn quite a bit from my maternal grandfather about how to run a business (he had several plus rental stuff - he owned the post office building, a small strip mall, a car repair garage, etc.) but I still had to APPLY what he taught me.

    Kiyoskai's books are all over the place and he needs a editor to organize his thoughts but they can be useful especially as motivation tools. Far too many people know what to do but never take the first step. And then they are the others (like my wife) who are just afraid to take the risk. One of my business failures was Dinner by Design where I learned that I needed to have the final say in all matters.

    So - I would say to those who want to climb the net worth mountain - read all you can and talk with those who have done what you want to do. You will find most successful people want to give advice - in fact I enjoy it quite a lot. I have 4 people I'm advising now - it's looking quite good for 2 of them.

    I liked this book but do recommend you try to find it at you local library first - no reason to pay for it unless you will refer to it from time to time.

    I would rate this book at a good solid level of 7.5 to 8.0 out of 10!
