Rich Dad, Poor Dad chronicles the story of the authors two dads, his own father, who wa the superintendent of education in Hawaii and who ended up dying penniless and his best friends father who dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii.

 Rating 4   Written on November 9, 2008
   Summary: Good but not a instruction book
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.

   Summary: Don't bother. Seriously.
This book is all cliche and lies.

1. The author recommends that people join MLM to become "better salespeople".

2. The author shows a strong distaste to basic education. (He was held back sophomore year in high school.)

3. The author shows a lack of respect for his real father (poor Dad)

4. The author shows a way too basic math to demonstrate his profits.

5. The author makes recommendations that are flat out illegal (such as writing off vacations on the corporation...aka, tax fraud.)

So, don't bother reading it. You want the basics of the book? Here....

1. People work for money because they are in fear.
2. Rich people horde their money because they are in fear of losing it.
3. Schools don't teach people about money.
4. People who don't know about money will always be poor.
5. He will not show you how to make money, nor will he show you how to make money work for you. He'll give a couple examples that have mathematical and legal errors with regards to taxes.
6. He preaches to use corporations to save on paying taxes....news flash: corporations have double taxation. That's the price of the legal protections.

Anyway, there's the gist of the book. The only money that Robert Kiyosaki has ever made is from this book...it's motivational, but financially irrelevant. This book started it's circulation through Amway...think about that. He is speaking about money and recommends MLM...was this book designed to make the Amway people feel better about their decision to join MLM?

Think before you buy. And hopefully you'll put your money away.
