Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It advocates the importance of financial literacy, financial independence, and building wealth through investing in assets, real estate, starting and owning a business, and increasing one's financial intelligence (IQ).
The book is written in a set of parables, ostensibly based on Kiyosaki's life. The titular 'rich dad' is allegedly his friend's father who accumulated wealth due to entrepreneurship and savvy knowledge of investment, while the 'poor dad' is claimed to be his own dad who worked very hard but never got financial securities. So basically, the book defines the difference between work for money and let money work for you.
It has been nearly 25 years since Robert's Rich Dad Poor Dad broke all the records and crossed all the limitations in the Personal Finance arena. It has since become the #1 personal finance book of all time which has been translated into dozens of languages and sold millions of copies around the world.
In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we have seen over the past years related to money investing and the global economy. Sidebars, throughout the book, will take readers 'fast forward'--from 1997 to today-- as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.
In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and important today. As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.
The book---
- Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
- Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
- Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
- Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
- Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success
