simply great
I don't like to read, and I am a very slow reader. This book is over 200pgs. and I finished it in one day. It's that interesting. I would recomend it to anyone who wants to take control of their financial situation.
A Good Overview of the Philosophy of Personal Finance
I found this book to be a very good introduction into the philosophy of personal finance. The author, through an exploration of his experiences with his two dads, provides an excellent discourse on the logic of intelligent personal finance.
This book does not attempt to peddle a system of "striking it rich overnight". But instead explains the importance of intelligent money usage. My personal favorite was the comparison roughly stating that income is equal to employees, and they can work either for you or against you. I'd recommend this book to anyone wishing to increase their financial security and/or buying power through intelligent money management.
Changed the Way I Looked at Things
I must tell you, as an accountant, I had it all wrong. I had, mistakenly so, always thought my house was an asset. How wrong I was. And most books I have read in this genre never speak of tithing (which I believe to be a necessity...after all, look was God gave us...his son, Jesus Christ). This is the first book where TITHING was brought up as being necessary. Hooray for Mr. Kiyosaki!
My 18 year old nephew read the book and just about came up off the couch!! Now he spends his spare time reading financial information books and magazines. He is determined that, following Robert Kiyosaki's simple plan and suggestions, he will be wealthy...and never have to worry about lack.
Why isn't this book a mandatory read in high schools??? And, speaking of schooling, it's the first book I have ever read where a real distinction was made between "education and learning" and "going to college."
I have ordered other books by this author after reading this marvelous "biography" of Mr, Kiyosaki's early life. And to Mr. Kiyosaki I can say only this, "Thank you for sharing your secret with all of us."
