Rich Dads Guide To Inversting

Rich Dad's Guide To Investing, What The Rich Invest In, That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not is Part Three of Kiyosaki's personal money trilogy. The saga begins with Kiyosaki as a young officer and fighter pilot returning home from war only to find his Poor Dad, having fallen out of favor in his cushy government job, recently unemployed. So, at age 52, Poor Dad is looking for work and just starting to rebuild his financial life. Rich Dad has been building up his assets and is incredibly wealthy.After a day in Rich Dad's spacious mansion discussing accredited investors and private placement memorandums, Kiyosaki returns to his cramped officer's quarters, his three beer-guzzling, pizza-eating, TV-watching roommates, and his $12,000 annual officer's salary. Kiyosaki contemplates what he wants from life. Kiyosaki decides not to re-enlist. He will become rich. Rich Dad agrees to resume his role as Kiyosaki's financial mentor.

As in Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Kiyosaki's writing is very personal and grabbing. But, what about the quality of the financial advice? I disagreed with much of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and partially expected Rich Dad's Guide To Investing to discuss the power of day trading, getting rich quickly in the stock market, and building a fast fortune with real estate. When I picked up the book, I found my expectations were wrong.While I don't agree with everything in Rich Dad's Guide To Investing, I feel it is packed with some great observations, good advice, and excellent insight into wealth building. Kiyosaki says you should make a plan to be financially secure, a plan to be financially comfortable, and a plan to be rich.
