A Review of Rich Dad Poor Dad

There are many fans of the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Personally, my opinion of Rich Dad and Poor Dad is that it is a very basic book. It teaches you the proper mindset and the basics of thinking like a business owner. It shouldn't be the last book you read on this subject, and you should definitely not take everything he says as absolute or gospel. You need to go out there and learn as much as you can about business, finance, and how to make money.

If you need more information on how to get rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad isn't the book to read. There's no step-by-step plan in there that shows you exactly how to become a millionaire.

Robert Kiyosaki makes the Rich Dad Poor Dad interesting by including lots of stories, and entertaining glimpse of his personal life. If you want to read it for entertainment then I don't think you will be disappointed.

If you already know the basics then reading Rich Dad Poor Dad might be a refresher course for you, but some of you may get bored.

Things like "the poor work for money, and the rich let money work for them" is things that most aspiring millionaires already know. Also, he says don't rack up a ton of credit card debts by spending it on TV, vacations, expensive dinners, etc. and instead use your credit wisely to borrow money for business purposes and for things that will generate you income to cover your loan interest plus give you a positive cash flow. If you don't know that already, then go read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

I believe that there's always more you can learn about business, finance, credit and financing, starting your own business,and asset protection. There is so much you need to know on the journey to becoming a millionaire. You should never stop learning after your bachelor degree, but if you are a true aspiring millionaire you'll know that a degree is just a piece of paper and it doesn't make someone a millionaire. It's your ideas, innovation, and your actions that will make you rich.

Whether you're a college dropout or a graduate, you will become rich because you'll find a way if that's truly what you want.
