After much prompting by my husband and father-in-law, I decided to give this book a shot. I was surprised at the amount of information it contained that could easily be applied to real-life situations. Unlike other "get rich" authors I've read, Kiyosaki thoroughly lays out in layman's terms all the details you need to make your money work for you. What struck me most was Kiyosaki's view of the priority American's place on schooling. While he encourages readers to attend college and get an education, he says this should not be expected to be your primary source of income. Rather, readers should be more thoroughly equipped with a financial education so that they may use the funds their jobs provide them as well as creative thinking to reinvest money into the market, whether through stocks or real estate. I came away with a better understanding of how the markets work and why most people never get rich - a simple lack of proper education about how to use money. This book is ideal for anyone with an open mind who is interested in making their hard-earned dollar go a little further.
