Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens: The Secrets about Money--That You Don't Learn in School!

Product Information

It was a line in chapter six that made me halt and decide to put down the book for good. It was an example of how his friend bought a rundown house. Kiyosaki writes "It was spooky to look at." What? did this supposedly financially intelligent man just say, "It was spooky to look at"? He did. He's not worth my time. Robert submits offers on multiple real estate properties that he wants. He leaves the deal up to the real estate agent, who is the expert, whereas he isn’t. Avoid unnecessary debt – Avoid taking on unnecessary debt, such as high-interest credit card debt or loans with unfavorable terms. Diversification—Building a diverse portfolio of assets can help mitigate risk and provide a more stable foundation for long-term financial growth.

Most financial problems are caused by trying to keep up with the Joneses.” You might choose to buy a bigger house, work harder, or get a promotion or pay raise. Prioritize expenses – Once you have a budget in place, prioritize your expenses based on your needs and goals. This might include essentials like utilities, and groceries, as well as discretionary spending like entertainment and dining out. Poor people will often tip restaurant servers 15-20 percent even with lousy service but get mad when they need to pay a broker three to seven percent. Before his meeting with his rich dad, Robert Kiyosaki’s poor dad told him to demand what he deserves at least 25 cents an hour and to quit his job immediately if he didn’t get a raise. Robert went to meet with his rich dad but was forced to wait 60 minutes longer than expected, which infuriated him. Robert felt that his rich dad hadn’t kept his end of the bargain of teaching him and that he was just trying to exploit him by making him work for him. For a comprehensive overview of personal finance, How to Money: Your Ultimate Visual Guide to the Basics of Finance by Jean Chatzky and her co-authors would be hard to beat. Steve Burkholder’s I Want More Pizza might be the best choice for teens who want (or need) to know the basics but cringe at the idea of anything resembling homework. Books on more specialized aspects of personal finance are also worth exploring, with Kalman Chany’s Paying for College being a good example. Why Trust Investopedia?By having two dads, with entirely different mindsets, Kiyosaki found himself comparing the two dads a lot. It was hard to figure out which dad he should listen to. Neither had found success yet. And both were experiencing financial struggles as they were still early in their careers. Losers are defeated by loss. Winners are inspired by loss. You can still hate losing without being afraid of it. The rich put their money into a corporation. Their asset puts income into their corporation, and then corporate income can be used as income for their personal income statement. And the expenses from their personal income statement can go into the expenses for the corporation. Even though the masses continuously try to find ways to tax the rich, the rich consistently outsmart them. When it comes to financial education, you need to know the difference between good debt and bad debt. Analyze instead of criticizing.

But what if you didn't rank yourself high in any area? Are you doomed? Not at all. This exercise was designed to help you start to think about how you think. People who think about the future, who have "vision," for example, are likely to become good business leaders. But that doesn't necessarily mean they are now. If you don't feel you have vision now, don't panic. You can "pump up" any area if you're determined to exercise your brain, just like Rich Dad told me to do when I was a kid. Physical intelligence If you love PE in school, or if your room looks like a sporting-goods store, you're physically intelligent-someone with awareness of how to use your body well, like many athletes and dancers.Now, I know that most people who (don't say 'peddle', don't say 'peddle') market these self-help (or new age) products are not usually scam artists. Most of them believe in what they do; they believe that they are helping people; and I hope sometimes they do. Rental properties – Investing in rental properties can provide a steady stream of rental income. It can be time-consuming to manage rental properties, so it is important to consider this before making an investment. Told in an interesting and engaging manner, Robert Kiyosaki advocates the importance of financial literacy. By using anecdotes from his life and the lessons he learned from his two father figures, the author explains the difference between the mindset of rich and poor regarding money.

Save regularly – Set aside a portion of your income every month to build up your savings and investment portfolio.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is really about encouragement to invest in yourself early and often in one’s life. For that, I applaud Mr. Kiyosaki as doing this will absolutely make a difference in your life. Did you know that Albert Einstein, who thought up the theory of relativity (E=[mc.sup.2]), never did well in school? He wasn't good at memorizing things, yet he grew up to become one of the greatest mathematical thinkers of all time. His brain focused on ideas rather than facts. Facts, he said, could be found in books, so he never felt the need to keep facts in his head. He wanted his head clear to think creatively. The world has many successful and talented people: doctors, lawyers, dentists. And still, they struggle financially. But as a wise business consultant once said, “They are one skill away from great wealth.” If you took your skillset and paired it with financial intelligence, accounting, investing, marketing, or law, you could achieve great wealth. Rich Dad Poor Dad is written in the style of a set of parables, ostensibly based on Kiyosaki's life.
