The Library | Review of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”
Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki has been the #1 personal finance book for the last TWENTY years and was recommended to me by my brother.

If you are interested in learning about different ways to generate income (outside of going to a job), this is the book for you. Like most people I grew up in a family that lived pay check to pay check. Although I’m very thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I had growing up, the stress of living that way each month is not something I want for my adult life. Also like most people, I have received virtually zero financial education despite having a higher education degree. Lack of financial eduction in America is a MAJOR topic in the book as well.

I reallyyy disliked the first chapter and nearly returned the book because the writing is far from fantastic. He kept repeating the same statement over and over and over and there is little color to the writing. The book I checked out from the library was a “study session” version; it has summary sections and reflection questions after each chapter. If you hate the first chapter, just read the study session for chapter 1, and then begin reading the rest of the book.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad left me motivated to learn more about personal finance and ways to make money work for me. I want to increase my knowledge of finance and better manage my life with that information. Money for some people is hard to talk about, whether that be from shame of how they manage their funds, if they believe it’s taboo, or whatever reason, BUT money still runs your life. I think it’s important for all of us to learn how to better manage our funds and protect our futures.

Have you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad? Do you have any financial educational sources you recommend?
