Wealth is in information...The problem is that information flies
around the world at the speed of light.
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" talks about managing the financial
information. The author Robert T. Kiyosaki is very clear in his thoughts
and makes sure that he implements his principles – one of the most important
being invest in assets instead of liabilities, at any cost.
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" was a book I had my eyes on for a
long time. I finally got it on my kindle - thanks to the unlimited edition.
The author Robert T. Kiyosaki shares some of his experiences

Class and Poor) process their thoughts when it comes to money matters.
Pictures are best way to understand concepts and I am glad that
the author used them quite well. Robert mentions:

are two I can remember.
KISS
principle—Keep It Simple, Stupid (or Keep It Super Simple)
FOCUS:
Follow One Course Until Successful.
When I started with the book, I was extremely happy that I picked

to chapter 2. But then I could see the frequent repetition. By the middle of
chapter 3, I found myself skimming through and had to remind myself again and

The book is full of one
liners and quotes which might or might not be applicable to all. But at the
end, they made their way in my notes. Here is the link to them;
