Book Review: Rich Dad, Poor Dad

When I originally found Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I was well into the most recent year of my residency. I couldn't put it down, and I'm not misrepresenting when I state that it totally transformed me. It was likewise most likely the first non-restorative book I had perused since I was acquainted with crafted by Malcolm Gladwell amid therapeutic school. 

The thoughts introduced in Rich Dad, Poor Dad aren't especially significant or extravagant, yet the ideas were totally new to me. This is particularly valid for how the book instructed me to consider cash not as a true objective, but rather as an apparatus for riches creation. 

Up until that point, I had suspected that all I expected to do was to locate the correct activity and I'd be set. All things considered, this was actually the manner in which I'd contemplated getting into the correct therapeutic school, the correct residency, and the correct partnership (haha). 

In any case, subsequent to perusing this book, I understood that the idea of exchanging time for cash simply isn't the most intelligent approach through life. Your cash should work for you—not the a different way. The creator of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, accepts definitely that. Here are a portion of his key ideas: 

Being rich = opportunity (As you'll see, this is a typical subject in my blog) 

Rich individuals make cash work for them, while most every other person works for cash 

Budgetary instruction is a key to progress. 

With respect to that last idea, Kiyosaki has a great deal to state. For instance, I simply love this statement from the principal section: 

"The vast majority never think about the subject [of money]. They go to work, get their paycheck, balance their checkbooks, and that is it. What's more, they ask why they have cash issues. Maybe a couple understand that it's their absence of monetary training that is the issue." 

Progressively key ideas: 

Resources are things that create income. You wind up affluent by gathering resources. 

Riches originates from having enough resources, which create enough pay to cover the majority of your costs. That way, there is sufficient left over to put resources into more resources. 

A typical analysis of this book is that while it is motivating, when you achieve the finish of the book, you have no clue what the initial step is. That is in reality fine with me. I think everything begins with motivation. What isolates those that are fruitful from those that are not is that the effective individuals take that motivation—and afterward they follow up on it. They don't let fear and endless investigation incapacitate them (Kiyosaki calls this "examination loss of motion"). 

This book stirred in me a relatively unquenchable craving for budgetary books. Not long after subsequent to understanding it, I ended up tearing through book after book on close to home back, learning and retaining all that I could. Subsequently, I adapted far beyond I would have something else. In the case of nothing else, that by itself merits the cost of the book.
