Rich Dad Poor Dad (Gemstar)

Rich Dad Poor Dad

This book feels a little outdated for the 2020s and beyond. Not everyone has to be a business owner and there are a lot of people who are successful outside of owning a business. The main themes are still true but there are better books (such as the psychology of money) that are better at explaining those concepts

Taking to heart the message that the poor and middle class work for money, but the rich have money work for them, the authors lay out a financial philosophy based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results.

Interesting insight into how "self-made" people think.

TW: lots of love for DJT.

I listened to the audiobook and it is basically a very good book that everyone should read. I am planning to read hard copy after a couple of years.

Finansa dair temel konularda aydınlanmamı sağlayan ve pasif gelir oluşturmanın ne kadar önemli olduğunu anlatan bir kitap. En hızlı şekilde okuduğum kitaplardan biri oldu çünkü keyifli ilerliyor. Finans ve yatırım ile ilgilenen kişilere tavsiye ediyorum. 4 yıldız verdim çünkü bazı yerlerde yazar çok fazla abartıyor gibi geldi.

Warum bleiben die Reichen reich und die Armen arm? Weil die Reichen ihren Kindern beibringen, wie sie mit Geld umgehen müssen, und die anderen nicht! Die meisten Angestellten verbringen im Laufe ihrer Ausbildung lieber Jahr um Jahr in Schule und Universität, wo sie nichts über Geld lernen, statt selbst erfolgreich zu werden. Robert T. Kiyosaki hatte in seiner Jugend einen "Rich Dad" und einen "Poor Dad". Nachdem er die Ratschläge des Ersteren beherzigt hatte, konnte er sich mit 47 Jahren zur Ruhe setzen. Er hatte gelernt, Geld für sich arbeiten zu lassen, statt andersherum. In Rich Dad Poor Dad teilt er sein Wissen und zeigt, wie jeder erfolgreich sein kann.

Was die Reichen ihren Kindern über Geld beibringen

Food for thought. It feeds the same ideas several times in the "for dummies" American fashion, yet it has some very interesting challenges to the popular understanding of wealth.

This is the first personal finance book I’ve read. On my challenge journey, I found this is of most sophisticated and crucial skills for my self
After the decision of Robert Kiyosaki, Become a I and B part, I think this is a new way to improve for me.

April 2017 marks 20 years since Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad first made waves in the Personal Finance arena. It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world. 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 explodes 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. 20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we've seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers "fast forward" -- from 1997 to today -- as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago. As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective. Will there be a few surprises? Count on it. Rich Dad Poor Dad... * Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich * Challenges the belief that your house is an asset * Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money * Defines once and for all an asset and a liability * Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

If you don't have financial knowledge this book can give you the very basics, helped me understand the difference between asset and liability, but the rest of the book it's useless, don't read it unless you're fine with skimming to the important parts

This is a great resource for rewiring your financial brain. The common narrative amongst most immigrant families is that risk is out of the question if you want to survive. My family followed the educated but poor dad's lesson. A lot of the times I've thought about adopting the 'rich' dad's way of thinking, I am met with uncomfortable amounts of cognitive dissonance. After finishing this, I feel empowered to dare to think and act differently.

Some valuable lessons (with clear real-world examples):

- Experience/knowledge over material goods.

- Be charitable without expectation of dividends

- Risk (and failure) is a prerequisite for success.

BUT: working through this book reminded me of the importance of abstraction when consuming information...and then further abstraction in light of context. Kiyosaki wrote this for a capitalist/western society. Even with the aid of technology, it's almost impossible for those trapped in a socio-political rat race to escape.

Financial Education Essentials

Much has changed since Kiyosaki wrote this book in 1997, but his main message is still so very appropriate today. The book confronts the mentality that going to school to get a good job is the best path to financial freedom. Kiyosaki puts forth the argument that financial literacy should be the goal (something not taught in schools) -- stating that earned income should not be the end goal. The proper end goal should be portfolio and passive income, which come from assets, not liabilities. A good book that challenges many of the common philosophies in modern America. The book is written in a very conversational style, with a lot of stories and dialogue. Almost twice as long as most financial "how-to" books I've read, but enjoyable enough to keep my attention while driving home the arguments. I prefer to read books that are more straight-forward with less story, but you can't argue that it hasn't had tremendous success in the market.

There is some great advice in here. Increase your financial IQ. Understand how to make your money work for you. Understand the difference between assets and liabilities. Don’t believe everything everyone tells you.

That last part applies to this book too. There are some real wacky suggestions in here that make no sense. Join a MLM to get over your fear of being told no? Seems like there are cheaper ways to overcome that fear.

He also never talks about a time he made a mistake. He says he did, but you don’t hear about that here. He also repeatedly talks down about his fathers salaried education job... but reveals he basically did the same.

Worth a quick read through, but don’t sell the farm right away.

Pranav

A worthy best-seller. Must-read for both financial and non-financial people, to learn and ground themselves in the basics of the habits of the wealthy. A good primer to get started with, and move on to more advanced books in the series, as well as other books on saving, investing, trading, and basically creating indestructible, old-money wealth.

Ammar Alakkad

One of the best book I've read 

I'd recommend everyone specially young people to read this book as soon as possible. 

It's going to change how you look at the money and your work. 

It'll encourage you to start thinking how to get more money in a smart way, not just by increase your working hours or find another job with higher salary. 

It opens your mind on investing and its importance.
