What Rich Kids Learn

“What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money—That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!” That’s the theme of Rich Dad Poor Dad, a 294-page financial education book by Robert Kiyosaki. This insightful book begins with young Robert asking his father, a schoolteacher with degrees from several prominent universities, how to get rich. His father told him to use his head. The author laments that schools focus on scholastic and professional skills but not on financial education. He states, “A person can be highly educated, professionally successful, and financially illiterate.”
