Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money—That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
View on GoodreadsA semi-autobiographical contrast between two father figures — one credentialed and salaried, one entrepreneurial — to make the case that conventional financial advice misses the real moves the wealthy make.
Core ideas
- The asset/liability distinction Kiyosaki uses isn't accounting-standard: an asset puts money in your pocket, a liability takes it out (your house, by this logic, is usually a liability).
- Working for money vs. having money work for you — the goal is owning income-producing assets, not a higher salary.
- Financial literacy is the missing curriculum; schools train employees, not capitalists.
