This book was written in the late 90’s and it is obvious how much has changed since then. I did learn a little bit more about financial literacy but I also don’t agree with everything he said. He mentioned how his “rich dad” fought against unions but also how rich people avoid taxes. He said Donald Trump is successful because he is focused but also said the same about Warren Buffett. I’d say my favorite line was when he was talking about investing your money and he said, “Look at every dollar like it’s your employee.” I am just starting to do investing outside of my retirement funds and I got a couple good tips. Not sure I would recommend this book to anyone though.

With this book, I officially stopped reading non-fiction.
Couldn't get halfway through this one. So preachy and pretentious.

This is an entry level book for the Rich Dad Poor Dad courses. There is enough info for a somewhat financially educated person to get ideas and reach out for help. Where it falls short is that it doesn't give examples of areas to pursue or how to come up with your own ideas. Granted that is not the intent of the book but a few charts on debt to income ratio would help people visualize some of the "pay yourself " advice.

Not a bad read but other books might be a better investment. (Especially some of the advanced course ones or the ones recommended by the author throughout the book.)
