Rich Dad's Rich Kid, Smart Kid: Give your Child a Financial Head Start
Growing up with two father figures, a Rich Dad and a Poor Dad,
Robert T. Kiyosaki understood well the importance of financial
planning. In this easy-to-read parenting guide, Kiyosaki and co-author
Sharon Lechter design a step-by-step guide to moms and dads to explain
to their children the basics of our financial economythe employees, the
self-employed, the business owners, and the investors. The authors
explain that providing children with financial problem-solving skills,
can help to ensure a profitable future.
Rich Dad's: Retire Rich Retire Young
Beginning with the principle of changing attitudes about financial
freedom, he explains the difference between earned income and passive
or investment income, managing good debt that makes money for you, such
as in real estate, the fundamental concern about 401(k) retirement
plans that are too focused on stock market performance, and the need to
create a long-term financial freedom plan and the emotional discipline
to stick to it.
The solid, practical insight into how to put together a plan to
financial freedom will require a commitment to changing lifestyles and
personal attitudes about work and, of course, enough time left in life
to allow the investments to succeed.
Highly recommended for all public libraries, especially those that have
not yet begun to add Kiyosaki's other super titles to their business
and investment collections.
Rich Dad's Guide to Investing What the Rich Invest in, that the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert Kiyosaki
The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than
U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us
from catching up to them.
That's why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10
percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone to
move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of
investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful
investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or
collecting "assets" that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to
liabilities.
The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing a
wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical, automatic,
and boring," a formula for success that has worked historically for
most of those who've used it. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the
father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game
Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and
repeat until you become rich.
Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom
This is one of the best of the Rich Dad Poor Dad audios. The core idea
in this series is that being an investor or business owner gives one
more freedom and a higher upside than being someone else's employee or
being an owner-operator of a business. With vivid personal stories, the
authors show that many people, including the author's "poor" dad (an
educational administrator), choose working for others because of
insecurity or misguided trust in organizations. One builds true
financial freedom by accumulating assets that make money, especially
rental property. Though others have offered this advice, it's clearer
and more potent here, and worth listening to many times if your
financial insecurity or complacency needs a push.
