I've read this amazing book by R.Kiyosaki and it was a great inspiration. It has changed my way of seeing some things... It's a book about a boy that was taught by his two fathers and got his financial education. There are some really helpfull tips how to start your road to financial freedom so I would reacommed it to everyone.And if you've read this book ( or any other from the series) please share your opinion.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a very intriguing and enlightening book about the difference in the mentality between the rich and the poor. While reading it, you begin to get an appreciation and understanding for corporate bodies as you start to understand things from their side of the fence. Robert Kiyosaki goes on to explain the difference between an asset and a liability. Many homeowners have a hard time dealing with finding out their home, the thing everyone has told them is an asset, is actually a liability. Why is this? Simple, it takes money out of your pocket every month rather than putting money INTO your pocket every month. Does mean don't own it, just means you need to understand the difference. If you read this, afterwards I would also look at two of his other books, in this order, Cashflow Quadrant and Rich Dad's Guide To Investing.

I read 2/3 of the book and found it so boring. It was stuff I didn't care about. I don't want to invest money. I'd like to start a business somewhat, but probably something far smaller scale than what he's talking about. None of it really applied to me it seemed. While I am a really frugal person, I'm definitely not all about money. I'm not that obsessed with it like the author. Is the last 1/3 of the book better?

I find this one of the more influential books in my life, it got me started on my own journey to financial independence, and I still turn to it often, to remind me of the basics.

It's a very inspiring book. It motivates you not only in doing business or investing but in your life as a whole. It did change some of my point of views. It helped me be positive in what I do. Also, it reminded me to be financially educated by reading more about accounting and business stuffs. I've also read Robert Kiyosaki's Guide To Investment, another inspiring book.
