Book Reviews of Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Book Review: current family & young adult financial basics
Summary: 5 Stars
Next to religion, the success of our children and our family's financial safety are our most important concerns. I lost my job 13 years ago, my brother-in-law has lost his twice in the last decade, and our son-in-law lost his when his workplace burned down. Each of these events caused a financial crisis for us, a crisis because, in part, we did not know and do what this book teaches.The major points of this book are presented in diagrams and this was critical to us, because, like most people, much of our family can't make sense of numbers and time. Just like the author, we learned from our educated parents what to NOT do financially, because what we learned was what worked in the 1950's and 1960's. It doesn't work now and we needed to relearn, beginning with the basics found in this book.
Highly recommended for all families and young adults.
Book Review: Forget what school taught you, this is how it really is!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were ever interested in why the rich get richer and the poor and middle class struggle; see chapter 3, lesson 2. It is two years of college accounting in a few pages of easy to understand language and diagrams. It challenges the reader to consider what is actually an asset and a liability. This is what separates the classes.Book Review: Logical and not your usual ra ra rubbish
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book in one day. The points it makes, make logical sense without all the usual bull you have to get through in other self-help books. I wish the author was teaching in Australia - I would be sure to go to his classes. The book gives a clear picture of how we all make the same mistakes financially which prevent us form making money. I will certainly be reading the book again and starting to invest in the same way.Book Review: A must read for getting ahead in todays market.
Summary: 5 Stars
Very well written, with great examples. Once you start you dont want to put the book down. It gives you a new way to look at things. Very thought provoking. This should be taught in our school system, along with the basics.Book Review: I've been doing it wrong for too long ...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book shows me in diagrams, examples, and stories how I have created my financial situations. I have done what my parents have told me, go to school, get a degree, get a job and then retire. Boy, have they been off. After reading this book I only want to do what everybody else isn't! Learn for knowledge, be not afraid of money, and go out and create a successful side business. From now on my mentors are going to be only the people who have been successful in whatever I am undertaking. I choose not to listen to another cynic! This book is great! I plan to read it again and again to make sure I have not missed anything from a mentor.
