Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert’s story of growing up with two dads – his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad – and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book cracks open the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you and even challenges the belief that your house is an asset. It also shows parents whey they can’t rely on the school system to teach their kids about money, defining what is asset and liability and how to increase ones’s financial independence. “There’s a difference between being poor and being broke. Broke is temporary. Poor is eternal. Money comes and goes, but if you have the eduction how money works, you gain power over it and can began building wealth, as people’s lives are controlled by two emotions fear and greed. Intelligence solves problems and produces money and cashflow tells the story of how a person handles money. The rich focuses on their asset columns while everyone else focuses on their income statements. Financial struggle is often directly the result of people working all their lives for someone else. The best thing about money is that it works 24 hours a day and can work for generations. An important distinction is that rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first. Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes,they are seen with your mind. Failures inspires winners but defeats losers”.
