For a comprehensive overview of personal finance, How to Money: Your Ultimate Visual Guide to the Basics of Finance by Jean Chatzky and her co-authors would be hard to beat. Steve Burkholder’s I Want More Pizza might be the best choice for teens who want (or need) to know the basics but cringe at the idea of anything resembling homework. Books on more specialized aspects of personal finance are also worth exploring, with Kalman Chany’s Paying for College being a good example. Why Trust Investopedia?

Businesses that do not require my presence. I own them, but they are not managed or run by other people. If I have to work there, it’s not a business. It becomes my job.

Things don't improve from here. The book ends with more ego-stroking. To conclude, yes, financial education matters but part of financial education should be some form of social thinking. Basically, Economics and Business can't be studied alone, this is a recipe to creating selfish villains, poor dad was right all along. It’s terribly written – it really is abysmal. This book bats you over the head with a few ideas (one of which is that The Poor should just stop being so poor!) through numerous “conversations” with his Rich Dad (who is supposedly the father of his friend). It’s horrendous dialogue; it actually.. I just can’t. It’s horrible. It talks about his father (the Poor Dad) who is university educated and hard working, but supposedly foolishly believes that getting an education and then a secure job is a waste of time. Education – what a joke, right? What a waste of time and money, that could otherwise be spent on high risk ventures that will always make you millions. That can be further invested to make billions. Reviewer Greg Daugherty has covered personal finance topics for more than 30 years, including stints as a senior-level editor at Money magazine and Consumer Reports. He is also the author or co-author of two books on personal finance for adults. In addition, he’s the proud father of two financially literate kids, now in their 20s.

The key to financial freedom and great wealth is a person’s ability to convert earned income into passive and/or portfolio income.” As a teenager, Robert realized he had more financial literacy than his poor dad as he was able to keep books and spent a lot of time listening to bankers, tax accountants, real estate brokers, and others like them. People who pay themselves first end up using the money to acquire assets that pay for their expenses, and then they’re leftover is income. People who pay themselves last, lose all their money with expenses. This book may do a good job of getting you excited about your financial future but the false information it teaches negates any benefits.

After a couple of weeks doing excruciatingly boring work, Robert told Mike that he wanted to quit. This response is what Mike’s dad was hoping for. As teenagers, Mike and Robert would work with their rich dad. They studied how he held meetings with his bankers, attorneys, accountants, investors, so forth. Even though his rich dad had left school at 13, he was now directing some very educated people. The biggest fear for aging Americans is running out of money before they die. When you add up health costs and long-term nursing home care, it’s quite likely that the average American will run out of money during their retirement. The strategy of the average person is: “Work hard, save, and borrow.” But instead of working hard, they should aim to improve their financial intelligence so that they can make more money. The people who get rich the fastest are those who realize that money isn’t real.

This book I have heard from so many other people that own business and they say that is it one of the best books to read while you’re young and learn how to run or create a successful business. I have read other great business books and this book has surpassed them all just because of all the information that he gives you.

Rich dad regularly told the two teens, “An intelligent person hires people who are more intelligent than he is.”It’s vital to learn the subject of accounting if your long-term goal is to be rich – no matter how boring you think the topic is. If you search for the best non-fiction (business) books list, the one that is popular even today is “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and after reading it, I understand why. It’s one of the best books on finance and it changed my perspective of looking at money. To me the most important thing it teaches is that being educated is the key.. educated in our motives, in money, in the world around us.. educated does not always mean a degree lessons can be learned anywhere at anytime..
