If you’re interested in finance, financial independence or getting out of debt then you absolutely must start with this book.
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki revolutionized the way that I think about finances and money in general. In simple terms my life and our financial outlook has changed for the better because of easy to understand lessons presented.
This book is an easy read; I read the entire thing in just a couple of hours. If you’re looking for a basic understanding of how to get out of debt, how to save, or how to plan for financial independence I cannot recommend this book enough!
It’s not very often that I can say a book changes my perspective this completely. Reading it is almost like you’re having a conversation with Mr. Kiyosaki; he mixes in personal stories and life lessons. The end result is a firmer grasp on the larger picture of finances.
There are so many finance and investing books out there; each appeals to a specific niche or type of person. This is the only one I’ve read so far that I think is fundamental reading for EVERYONE. It serves as the foundation of financial knowledge.
These are the lessons that the rich teach their children. The poor and the middle class don’t understand and so they never have the opportunity to pass the knowledge on to their children. Robert Kiyosaki has opened the door with Rich Dad Poor Dad, it’s just up to you to read it.
