"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is the story of two fathers living in Hawaii, an American archipelago in the central Pacific. One father was rich and the other poor. One had a lot of degrees, and held a position of responsibility in his archipelago. The other had barely graduated from high school. Both had a good professional career and earned a good living. However, one of the fathers was constantly in financial difficulties, while the other ended up becoming one of the most powerful men in the region within a few years. What distinguishes these two characters, and their fates, is simply the mastery of an inclusive financial education, as evidenced by the author who learned it at the age of 9. The poor father in this story is the real Father of the author Robert Kiyosaki, while his "rich father" as he liked to call him was an entrepreneur and friend of the family. From him, he learns simple financial laws that will completely change his life and the lives of millions of others. By reading this summary, you will learn that in order to become rich, you need to get out of the usual metro-busy-sleep cycle (also known as the Rat Race as the author mentions in the book) and rethink your concept of money and wealth. You will also learn : - That being rich does not necessarily mean having a well-filled bank account. - What the basics of a good financial education are. - How to make money by working less. - What rich people teach their children from an early age. Unfortunately, making money is not something you learn in school. As you might expect. The financial education most of us receive is passed on to us by our relatives or peers, as it was passed on to them. Are you ready to change the way you think about money and make the choice to be wealthy ? SUMMARY Part Preface Who is Robert Kiyosaki ?
