 Not for Harvard graduates May 24, 2003
758 out of 770 found this review helpful
This book is definitely not for Harvard graduates. Typical Harvard graduates are too busy updating their resumes and pounding the pavement trying to find a j-o-b just like the one they just got downsized from to benefit from a book like this.On the other hand, for people who are willing to be changed; are sick and tired of the rat race; tired of paying for somebodyelse's dreams; tired of having their boss determine how many sick days they deserve or how many vacation days they can take will enjoy and benefit from this book. I also recommend Loopholes of the Rich and The Business School for People who like helping people.Slams at network marketing people by 1 star reviewers are predictable and stale. Question 1 stars: How is your lifestyle? What kind of car do you drive? Where do you go to vacation? How much did you pay in taxes last year?The investment advice is also right on. Just talk to all of the people who are losing money following conventionable advice.A house is an asset? Yes, if you are the bank. If you want to turn a house into an asset, it's very simple, do what banks do and become a real estate investor.As for that website that keeps getting mentioned here, if it really was that good there would be no need to repeatedly mention it here would there?RDPD is a OUTSTANDING book. I highly recommend it.My motto is: I'll do today what others won't so I can do tommorrow what others can't.The recipe is simple; just follow Kiyosaki's advice.
Title is a little misleading - good book June 1, 2003

I bought this book on the assumption that Kiyosaki's real dad was "poor." In fact, Kiyosaki's real father had a high income and all of the usual blessing of a rich person; big house, had a great education and so.Kiyosaki's rich dad was the contrast. He made much less money than his poor dad. One difference--rich dad had more cash flow and fewer financial problems. Poor dad depended on his job for income. Rich dad depended on real estate, stocks and other investments that provided a passive cash flow. Some people feel that more money will solve their problems but as Kiyosaki explains, it's not how much money you have, it is how you handle it. If your house is your biggest asset, you are in big trouble.
If your job is your main or even worse, your only source of cash flow, you are in big trouble. If you think that a college degree equals financial success and wealth, you are in big trouble. Since reading RD/PD, I realized that I was like Kiyosaki's poor dad. So were the people in my family. So are my friends. But when I looked around, none were doing that well financially. So I decided to change---made some new choices. Changed my core values towards a Rich Dad mentality. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a excellent book that should be read by everyone who wants to reach financial success.

As the saying goes, Father knows best and in Rich Dad Poor Dad, bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki provides powerful and pragmatic money management strategies passed on to him by his Rich Dad.RDPD is the book that started it all and still a best seller. Justifiably so because the advice really works. I also recommend the other books in the Rich Dad advisor series to meet your personal needs. Regardless of whether you are interested in learning more about real estate investing, buying or selling a business, creating a second income or a new career or just general financial issues, you will find the advice you are looking for in RDPD and in the Rich Dad's Advisors Series. Happy Fathers Day Rich Dad and thanks for sharing.
The most successful financial book of all time! March 25, 2003
332 out of 335 found this review helpful
Rich Dad Poor Dad has become the single most successful-best selling financial book ever---and for good reason; the advice works. It tells people not what they want to hear, but they need to hear.I also recommend Rich Dad's Guide to Investing which offers better investing strategies than just blindly buying mutual funds or listening to your broker without rhyme or reason.I wish you continued success!
Why listen to Kiyosaki and add to his wealth? September 29, 2005

Best way to answer that is with another question. What is your net worth and how does that compare to what Mr. Kiyosaki is worth? Here is another question. How does your net worth compare to the many successful Kiyosaki students?
Less than 2% of people in America are doing well. Less than 2% in the richest country in the world!
It pays to listen to someone like Robert Kiyosaki.
