Rich Dad Poor Dad book by Robert Kyosaki

I recently just finished this book after my coworker recommending it to me: Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money and What the Poor and Middle Class Do not! by Robert Kiyosaki. Has anyone else read this book? I do have to say it was interesting. He explains what both of his two dads told him about money; one was his biological, well-educated dad who made good money but was often in debt, and one was his best friend's dad who had no college education but owned multiple businesses and was rich. A big theme in this book is investing. I am not very savvy when it comes to understanding a lot of about finances; like stocks, but one of the ways this author helped himself become extremely rich was through stock trading and high-risk investments at first. With the extra money he yieled through these investments, he turned around and bought real estate property with it. He would go hunting for deals or sellers looking to sell their land, houses, or apartment complexes, make them an offer. He would then turn around and sell this real estate property for more than he bought it for, and re-invest the difference in something else. It was interesting to read about. I have never purchased a "stock". (Have you?) One good lesson from this book was the simple rule of not leaving above or beyond your means (actually live below them) and a second rule of not buying something (ie such as a newer car) until you have the capital to pay cash for it. Have you read anything good or interesting lately? Or read this book? Happy New Years Eve to all!
