编辑推荐 Amazon.com Review
The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us from catching up to them. That's why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10 percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone to move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or collecting "assets" that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to liabilities. The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing a wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical, automatic, and boring," a formula for success that has worked historically for most of those who've used it. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and repeat until you become rich.
The overall message of Rich Dad's Guide to Investing is that this is an abundant world, full of opportunity for the sophisticated investor. However, it sometimes takes a while to find this point. Much of the book is told in dialogues between young Kiyosaki and his rich dad, and these conversations can ramble. There are rewards for the careful reader--for example, in the middle of a section on the basic rules of investing, Kiyosaki's rich dad compares investor education to toilet training: difficult at first but eventually automatic. But getting to these inspired metaphors means wading through a lot of repetitive dialogue. It's a bit ironic that someone who advocates investor discipline should show so little as a writer. But by the end of the book, even the rambling starts to make sense. By the hundredth time you read that the rich don't work for money, and that you don't need money to make money, both concepts start to make sense. It still looks difficult to apply these ideas, but Rich Dad's Guide to Investing certainly makes the case that they'll work for anyone bold and smart enough to practice them. --Lou Schuler --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Review
This is the third in a series of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' books. Kiyosaki's new guide offers 16 investor lessons, 42 chapters and 406 pages of advice. The message is that you can't begin to enter the rich man's world until you get your head right. Getting rich means first of all gaining control over yourself. It's not just about investing, it's a description of two different life paths and the choices people make that put them onto those paths. Much of the narrative is concerned with Kiyosaki's own rags to riches rise from a poor American airman to retirement in luxury at 47. Poor Dad was Robert's father, a university professor who worked hard all his life and was eventually made redundant. Rich Dad, was his friend Mike's father who never finished the eighth grade and ended up one of the richest men in Hawaii. You can be highly educated but financially illiterate. The book underlines the importance of financial literacy, listing the essential skills needed to get onto the first rung of the investing ladder. Anyone can work through the five phases of learning and fill in the short questionnaires that are designed to test your mental attitude. You're never too young or too old to make your fortune. Colonel Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken at 66! Much of the advice turns received wisdom on its head. The educational system is still in the dark ages. Most people leave school looking for jobs when they should be looking for 'opportunities'. They've been taught to work hard for earned income but people should never take a job for money, rather for the long-term skills they will acquire. Passive income and portfolio income will take you to millionaire status quicker than earned income. There is plenty of food for thought in this substantial paperback, although the fledgling investor will have to bear in mind that the guidance is written for the observation of the American tax laws and legal system.
