Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

📖 Rich Dad Poor Dad – Short SummaryKiyosaki contrasts the lessons he learned from two father figures:Poor Dad (his biological father) – highly educated, valued job security, believed in working hard for money, and thought traditional education was the path to success.Rich Dad (his best friend’s father) – a businessman with no fancy degrees, taught financial independence, investing, and making money work for you.💡 Key LessonsAssets vs. Liabilities – The rich buy assets (things that put money in their pocket). The poor/middle class buy liabilities (things that take money out).Financial Education – School doesn’t teach money skills; you have to learn about investing, accounting, and markets yourself.Work to Learn, Not Just to Earn – Jobs should teach you skills (sales, investing, managing) rather than just provide a paycheck.The Rat Race – People chase promotions and raises but stay trapped in debt because expenses rise with income.Entrepreneurship & Investing – True wealth comes from owning businesses, real estate, or investments — not from being an employee.📝 Core TakeawayDon’t just work for money — make money work for you. Build assets, increase financial literacy, and think like an investor, not just a worker.
