I was just going to say the same thing. Much more down to earth, and applies to everybody, students, business owners or not.

I agree! Much better book

I found the cash flow quadrant pretty inventive, even if it might be fictional.

So is anybody here financially free after reading his book? :p

I didn't read the book, but from what I'm gathering here, "investing" sounds like a foolproof plan to make money. Doesn't investing = gambling ?

Yes.



ALL of Kiyosakis books are garbage.

I would suggest:

Security Analysis
The Millionaire Next Door
The Millionare Mind
The Power of Focus

I was going to link this, you did the job for me. Also, The Millionaire Next Door and Jane Bryant Quinn's Making the Most of Your Money are good books that I'd recommend over the semi-BS based Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
