The main idea behind this book is "Financial Knowledge = Financial Power". If you want to make money you must learn as much as you can about money.

I feel Robert Kiyosaki has written a pretty good book that effectively get this point across.

The only problems I had:

-The dialogue he writes between his child self and his rich Dad is poorly written and kind of annoying

-The way he keeps repeating how easy it is to make a fortune in real estate. I know there is a lot of money to made in real estate but he claims you can easily make tens of thousands of dollars with just a few hours of work.

Overall this was a good book, with lots of valid and helpful points. But just like very self-help book you need to take the bad with the good a take what you like and leave what you don't.
