Rich Dad Poor Dad

A personal finance classic that challenges traditional beliefs about money and explains how financial independence is built.

Why This Book Matters? Rich Dad Poor Dad changed how millions of people think about money. Through contrasting lessons from two father figures, Kiyosaki explains why financial literacy matters and why traditional education fails to prepare people for financial success. The Core Idea: The rich focus on building assets, not income. Kiyosaki introduces the concept of passive income, asset accumulation, and the mindset required for financial independence. It frames wealth-building as a long-term strategy that anyone can start regardless of background. Personal Reflection: This book was a mindset shift for me. It helped me understand the difference between working for money and making money work for you. It also inspired me to explore personal investments and alternative income streams earlier in my career.
