Rich Dad Poor Dad book review – key lessons on money, mindset, and financial freedom. Discover how Kiyosaki’s insights can change your life.

“The rich don’t work for money. They make money work for them.”

“Your house is not an asset. It is a liability.”

“The love of money is the root of all evil, but the lack of money is the root of all evil.”

“The only thing that makes people poor or rich is how they manage their money.”

“Financial freedom is available to those who learn about it and work for it.”

“It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.”“Don’t work for money, make money work for you.“

“The poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”

Money is something we all deal with every day, but very few of us are taught how it actually works. Schools teach us mathematics, science, and history, but they rarely teach us about financial literacy. That’s exactly where Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad makes a mark. It’s not just a book about money, it’s a book about the mindset behind money.

The Author Robert grew up with two father figures one is his real father,highly educated and hardworking, whom he calls his “Poor Dad.” Another is his best friend’s father, a businessman with street-smart financial skills, whom he calls his “Rich Dad.”Both of his fathers had very different approaches to life and money, and young Robert was caught between their contrasting advice. This is the foundation of the book that is based on two opposing perspectives on wealth.

The most important lesson is about assets and liabilities. According to Robert Kiyosaki, rich people focus on buying assets ,things that generate income, like investments, businesses, or real estate. On the other hand, poor people often buy liabilities they think are assets, such as fancy cars or big houses that drain money instead of creating it.

Another striking idea is that financial education is more important than academic education when it comes to building wealth. A person may have degrees and a secure job, but if they don’t know how to manage or grow money, they will stay financially stuck.

The book also emphasizes learning skills beyond your job. Instead of working only for a paycheck, Robert advises readers to “work to learn.” Skills like sales, investing, and entrepreneurship can change your financial destiny.What I Loved about this book is its simplicity.The lessons are told through stories, so even if you are not a finance person, you’ll find it easy to understand. It doesn’t overwhelm you with technical terms. Instead, it challenges your thinking and that’s the power of the book.

Another aspect I liked is how it demolishes the fear around money. Many of us grow up believing that money is complicated, or worse, that wanting to be rich is bad. Kiyosaki turns this mindset upside down. He shows that money is simply a tool , it can either control you or empower you, depending on how you use it. Some readers may feel disappointed because the book doesn’t give step-by-step instructions on how to invest. It’s more motivational than practical. Also, there’s been debate about whether “Rich Dad” was a real person or a fictional character used to simplify ideas. But honestly, the lessons remain valuable either way.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book that shakes your traditional thinking about money. It doesn’t promise instant wealth, but it does give you the right foundation to start your financial journey. If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to grow rich while others struggle their whole lives despite working hard, this book will give you the answer.
