Some very interesting ideas in here. His rich dad sounds like an ass, to be perfectly honest, but it's definitely honest advice on how to make lots of money.
Spoiler alert: written during the bubble, Kyosaki's panacea is real estate. Yes, generally it is a good investment. Except when it isn't. Then it is a horrible very bad no good money pit from which you cannot escape (thanks to harsh foreclosure laws, zombie titles, etc.). I hope he wrote a follow up, because there is another bond bubble forming.
I think I read this many years ago but I don't remember it at all. I'm now buzzing with all the information, not entirely sure what to do with it but motivated to learn more. Fascinating!
I had a lot of strong reactions to the author’s points. Initially thinking it was because I was too trained by society to think a certain way, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. But it soon became evident that he wrote more with the intent to sensationalize than to educate. The legitimacy of his advice is questionable. If nothing else, the value in this book lies in leaving you wanting to truly figure out how to become financially literate.
First, lots of people have found inspiration in this book. So, it must give something to people. Personally, I found it to be okay. It’s primarily about mindset and philosophy, which can certainly be helpful if you want to achieve financial freedom. The mindset of not fearing money is especially fundamental. But for me, mindset isn’t the issue - though being reminded doesn’t hurt - and I’m looking for more detailed financial information. Also, while I think some of the personal lessons are important if you want to increase your financial well-being, there is an undertow in this book that is an apologetics for the wealthy and a blame-shaming of the poor. Can someone use these philosophies and mindsets to get ahead? Yes, likely. But, does Kiyosaki have a deep diagnosis of the why’s and wherefore’s of poverty? No. But, he claims he does. And that is corrosive, in my humble opinion. I won’t be reading any more Kiyosaki books (he has enough of my money from this one), but for those who are just starting out on their path of financial education there are worse places to start.
It took me so long to read this book. Many people told me to, but I always put it off because I didn't feel interested in learning about finance.
I just finished reading and digesting the book in less than a week I'm so glad I finally did.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad offers all the basic mindsets and philosophies that most people do not believe.
So reading it was a very eye-opening experience. Thank you.

I have got a lot of interesting stuff from this book, and it confirmed many things that I was thinking about recently.
