kiwisteak 's review for:
The Business of the 21st Century
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
I don't normally write reviews, but I figured this needed to come with a warning.
To put it bluntly, this reads like a persuasive essay written by your typical third grader. It's rife with contradictions, crazy leaps in logic, unnecessary name-dropping, and lots of obvious points glaringly missing because it would destroy his argument. He appeals to the emotions of the reader (which, in my opinion, is not the way you should be thinking about your finances).
As someone who even minored in finances, warning bells were clanging loudly in my head all throughout this book. One thing he tries to push is that you're foolish if you think the security of a regular paycheck and benefits has any value compared to the possibility of financial freedom and not having to answer to anyone -- to the point that it's preferable to be homeless than to work a regular job.
No. Just. No.
As mother of a 6 month old, security is one of the biggest thing I want for my child.
Rant over.
