Book review Rich dad, Poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki. A book that makes you think.
The main characters of book 2 are the father of Robert Kiyosaki. One of them is his real father, and the other, who played a big role in becoming Robert a miloner and taught him everything, is the father of his close friend. His biological father was a doctor of sciences and worked at the university, and the other father, having finished only 8 classes, plunged headlong into life and learned everything from experience. Both earned enough to support themselves and their families during their lifetime. However, the second father at death was one of the richest people in Hawaii, who left tens of millions of dollars for his children. And Robert's real father left only unpaid debts and taxes.
Making money is a kind of science that is not taught at the university or in schools. What is taught there is only a path to building a career. that's why in many families children are simply taught how to be poor. Not because they do not wish the children well, they just did not fully understand the meaning of life.
It was the same with Robert, his parents, instead of teaching Robert how to get rich, taught him how to be poor. There were even times when, when Robert had his own business, his parents asked if he was looking for a normal job.
Many people think that a big salary will solve our problems, but in fact, our problems are solved not by a large amount of money, but by the knowledge thanks to which we can earn it. One of the main thoughts of the book is that our problem is that we work for money. We spend time and energy all our lives in order to make money. And the point is that we must make the money work for us and bring us even more money.
To do this, we need to understand 2 financial terms: assets and liabilities.
Assets increase our income, and we take away liabilities. The assets include business, real estate, company shares, everything that brings us money. And the number of liabilities includes such objects as expensive clothes, an expensive phone, a car loan, and so on.
The point is that we should invest the earned day from 8 to 17 in assets in order to get rich, and not spend on unnecessary things. And don't be afraid to lose money when investing, because this is a colossal experience.
Thank you for your attention!!!
Peace in your home.
