(Synopsis) Robert Kiyosaki, the author of this book, has two fathers. One is the real father, who is highly educated but struggling financially. The other is the father of his friend, who is eighth-grade drop out but very rich.
One day, Robert decided to be rich and asked the rich father how to become rich. This book shows what Robert learned from his rich father.
(Review) It was an eye opener when I saw, "Study hard, get good grade and secure job is not the way to be financially success". It describes why highly educated people are not always financially secure. It is because of the lack of financial intelligence. As written in the book, we learn all the scholastic knowledge but finance. Thus, even we study hard, get good grade and have secure job, we could not help struggling financially. Once we get secure job, get married then we tend to think of buying a beautiful car or spacious house in loan. This is the beginning of doodlebug's pit. To avoid or get out of this rat race, we have to build our financial intelligence.
