Product Description A #1 New York Times bestseller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a true story on the lessons about money that Robert Kiyosaki learned from his two "dads." One dad, a Ph.D. and superintendent of education, never had enough money at the end of the month and died broke. His other dad dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Rich Dad, Poor Dad will explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich, challenge the belief that your house is an asset, show parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money, define once and for all an asset and a liability, and teach you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success. In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki explains how to make your money work hard for you instead of you working hard for money.

Rich Dad Poor Dad-a great read December 2, 2008 I would like to say that Rich Dad Poor Dad was a terrific book. I dealt with the aspects of financial businesses and how they are set out in society. It shows that with great use of the mind, one can accomplish much that he or she did not know could be capable. This book demonstrates that through hard work in life, success comes in hand. Overall, Kiyosaki's book in well-written and should be read by more individuals.

Greatest Personal Finance book! November 10, 2008 This is far by the greatest personal financial book! It sets the bar for all other books. It will change your life...highly recommend it for everyone.
Good but not a instruction book November 9, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is pretty good because the basics it mentions are fairly good. Its true that 90% of America does not know the different between a true asset and a liability. Financial money management is missing from most of education. If you listen to Dave Ramsey, he says many of the same things.
As for the tax advice and deferrments in this book, I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Yes, things like 1031 do exist but some of the advice like buying a corporate car with a personal corporation is illegal(although the accounting advisor at H&R block did inform me last year before I read the book that deducting mileage and gas on my car was a legal option). You can defer taxes forever on a few things, but not many of them and overall, taxes in America are progressive, not regressive as the author claims.
I did learn and was reminded of many important principles by this book and book series, but I'd take a much closer look at tax law before deducting anything.
