linn1378 's review for:
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
I don't think this book will help anyone get rich - and I don't think that is the book's intention - but there are some good ideas here. It was published in 1997, before 9/11, before the current recession, but many of the principles still make sense today.
I played his game Cash Flow a few years ago, but I'm only now beginning to understand what it was all about - mostly because I have committed many of the mistakes this book warns us about - including dipping into savings to pay credit card bills.
I don't think creating cash flow is as easy as the author would like us to believe. Nor do I believe he is as wealthy as he claims. Why would he spend all that time writing and then promoting a book if he's so busy being a successful investor?
But I do think there are a few important takeaways in the book: "pay yourself first"; "invest in things that will make money instead of drain money"; and "never dip into your savings".
