Poor Dad Rich Dad is one of the best selling books written by personal finance guru Robert Kiyosaki.
Poor Dad Rich Dad is based on the life of Robert Kiyosaki and the type of financial education he received from two father figures, his real father and the father of his best friend.
As a child, Robert Kiyosaki was influenced by the advice of both parents and was able to show the great differences in thought patterns between them. His real father had studied and worked all his life, with a university degree and graduate degrees, he struggled all his life against debt, obligations and in general to survive on the amount of money he earned from his job. While his friend's father dropped out of high school and worked hard building a business system that left millions for him and his family.
Guess which was Rich Dad and which was Poor Dad
| His Poor Dad said things like: | His rich dad said things like: |
| Study son so you can find a good job to work | Study son so you can be the owner of a good business |
| I can't buy it | Never say "I can't buy" it is better to say "How can I buy it" |
| The reason why I am not rich is because I have you children | The reason why I have to be rich is because I have you children |
| Play it safe, put the money in the bank | Learn to assess risks and make big investments |
The differences between the mentality of both are notorious. Poor Dad believed that the best thing you could have in life is a good job with good benefits, while Rich Dad believed in financial independence.
Poor Dad Rich Dad is an eye-opening book that has helped thousands of people improve their financial habits, awaken entrepreneurship and move from scarcity to abundance mentality.
I say this from my own experience, but please don't believe me. If you haven't read the book, get it right away and check it out.
Education as a focus on Poor Dad Rich Dad
The book Poor Dad Rich Dad, develops a comparison between the thinking patterns of the rich and the poor, highlights the differences and accuses education of being responsible for the financial problems that most people suffer. Being the family the first educating entity and going through the different institutions, schools and universities.
No matter how much studies a person undertakes, including postgraduate degrees, education is purely academic and never includes topics such as money management. In general, a true financial education is not instilled, which causes excellent professionals (technical and academic), but broken professionals who live struggling to survive economically (financial illiteracy).
Again I want to recommend you the book Poor Dad Rich Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, I hope it helps you expand your mind with the information it provides and that will help you make decisions in your life. If your decision includes an entrepreneurial path and in search of financial freedom, Welcome.
