5 out of 5 stars Really Hits Home!, August 2, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Colorado USA
Wow! What a real eye-opener! This book has really helped me change (for the positive) the way I viewed my finances.

I have read both "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "Cashflow Quadrant" as well as listened to some of Robert Kiyosaki's audio tapes. What really impresses me about this book (as well as his other works) is that Mr. Kiyosaki has actually used the principles he writes about to become financially independent himself...as have many of the people he associates with. These are not just theories from some "brilliant" (and probably broke) economics professor or accountant, but tried-and-true methods for creating true wealth from someone who has done it! Personally, I'd rather follow the teachings of someone who has already accomplished what I want to achieve. (Honestly, why waste your time "learning" about finances from anyone who is not already wealthy?)

Mr. Kiyosaki recommends a number of other books to read at the end of this book. I have also started reading them, and am impressed so far by his recommendations. (I recommend these also!)

If you are looking for a "get rich quick" scheme, you will be disappointed by this book. True wealth does not come overnight, as any wealthy person with tell you. It takes effort, time, and commitment.

I have the utmost respect for the author and highly recommend this book to anyone serious about achieving true wealth and financial freedom. I also look forward to reading one of Mr. Kiyosaki's other books very soon: "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing".

Enjoy - you owe it to yourself!

4 out of 5 stars Read this book before you invest, retire, or take a job!, September 16, 2000
Reviewer: Jeffrey S. Davidson from Flower Mound, TX USA
Robert Kiyosaki's best seller should be required everyone who has ever heard of 401k. Using a comparison of two pivotal men in his life, Kiyosaki leads the reader into a discussion of how we think about money. His father, a highly educated man, never achieved financial success. His second father figure did not finish eighth grade, but went on to build a financial empire.

The juxtaposition of these two fathers and their views about money is used as a historical travelogue through Kiyosaki's life. He talks about the differences in opinions and how following traditional advice about working hard in a corporation or the government can lead to stable employment (if you are lucky) at the cost of independence and financial success. Using good financial judgment is not common, but can lead you to riches and freedom using using tax loopholes, property, investments, and employees.

The book is easy to understand because it was written for a mass audience. I believe a good editor would tighten up the text and remove some of the random typos, improving the readability of the book. This is why the book only received four instead of five stars.

How you think about money will lead you to riches or make you a slave for wages. Read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" if you want to take control of your financial future.
