Rich Dad Poor Dad Book Summary
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is a personal finance classic written by Robert T. Kiyosaki. The book explores the different mindsets and philosophies about money, wealth creation, and financial education that Kiyosaki learned from his “Rich Dad” (his friend’s wealthy father) and his “Poor Dad” (his own father).
The story starts with Kiyosaki explaining his childhood, where he had two father figures imparting contrasting financial lessons. His “Poor Dad” was highly educated, holding a Ph.D. and advocating for the traditional approach of getting a good education and a stable job. In contrast, his “Rich Dad,” an entrepreneur and businessman, emphasized financial literacy, investments, and creating passive income.

Kiyosaki highlights key lessons he learned from his “Rich Dad”:
- Assets vs. Liabilities: Understanding the difference between assets (things that put money in your pocket) and liabilities (things that take money out of your pocket) is fundamental to building wealth.
- Importance of Financial Education: Traditional education often does not teach practical financial skills. Kiyosaki emphasizes the need to educate oneself about money, investing, and managing finances.
