“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” chronicles the story of two dads, the author’s own father, who was the superintendent of education in Hawaii and who ended up dying penniless, and the author's best friend’s father (and Kiyosaki’s mentor growing up), who dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Kiyosaki uses the story of these two men and their varying financial strategies to illustrate the need for a new financial paradigm in order to achieve financial success in the new millennium.

Review of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

what a load of crap - i read the intro and chp 1 and then had to stop (but skimmed the rest). not only was the writing juvenile and repetitive, but the content was arrogant and absolute bullsh**t
ex: (from author's childhood)
after being told that working for 10 cents/hr was for chumps - the boy runs a comic book library. it's open after school for 2 hours. he hires a girl to be librarian and pays her $1 a week. umm... that's 10 hours a week, so you are paying her 10 cents/hr - the same wage you stated was totally beneath a person.
didn't seem to bother you when you were the one in charge of wages.
(btw - he took home $4 a week for his 3 hours of work; that's how he gets access to the comic books)

this guy idolizes his friend's rich father - …
