Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert’s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.
Drawing from Kiyosaki’s personal experience, Rich Dad Poor Dad examines the difference of mindset between the rich, the poor, and the middle class. It attempts to answer some of the burning questions that pervade each class and their eternal struggle with wealth, or lack thereof.
