I found it so fascinating,I read it non-stop and ordered additional copies to give as presents to friends. The subject (Cuban missile crisis) was researched and presented by the author who was a participant antisubmarine warfare officer on a US destroyer, and later had access to classified Russian military reports and intervied his opposition submarine commanders. The drama is unfolding on the military-diplomatic front, as well as in the lifes of many individuals serving aboard ships and submarines.

You thought you had some idea of how to make money then some guy comes along and tells you everything you are doing is wrong. Yes, this book is good. he is trying to get you to change your thinking about money and life. Could he be trying to pull a fast one, i doubt it. If you’re in college, ignore my typos and don’t quit yet. A child prodigy once taught me that the purpose of school was to teach you to finish something. Will school provide you life long dream for financial independence? Doubtful, but if you look towards God, and this is not alla or any other god but the one true god and use his financial advice then you will be a success. Parts and pieces are true. one example he uses in further books are the examples of firefighters who work and use their spare time to do some of the things that he is recommended. All this means is don’t quit your job and try to do what he is recommending. A slow go approach would be more appropriate. So it may take you twenty, thirty, forty years to be financially independent, what’s the hurry, there are no u-hauls in heaven. If you put the Lord’s kingdom first, then all these things will be added unto you. This does not mean you will be rich beyond imagination, not until heaven of course, but you won’t be begging bread either. I’ve been homeless, poor and made it out with Godly help and no other way. Don’t let the book get you down, it is not the end all be all.

“To get over the top financially, you must read ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’. It’s common sense and market savvy for your financial future.”(Zig Ziglar, author and lecturer)
“‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ is a starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their financial future.”(USA Today)
I disagree completely! He establishes a way of undermining the little people and making money off them. For example,
he opens a comic book library under a comic book store where he charges children in the
neighborhood ten cents for two hours of unlimited reading. This only works because he is
obstructing the sale of comic books in the store. Instead of buying the books from the store clerk,
they can read them for a lower costs and not have to purchase them—in other words: piracy. He
says this is the kind of thing you need to do to develop pure income. He also mentions one of the
things his “rich dad” did to become rich. He took a $20,000 house during a depression in Phoenix
when everyone was giving stuff away, and saving the most money they could for the future, and
he sold it for $60,000 (saying it was worth $75,000). This is the kind of thing that creates the
huge gap between upper and lower classes. He shows the reader how to be a capitalist fat cat, and
rise above the little people.
The only problem with this is that he explains how to get even richer, not how to get rich.
His theory about getting rich only works if you have money to start off with, and are willing to
step on everyone! With people like this it’s no surprise that the rich are mistrusted. If the “only”
way to get rich is to swindle, scam, and cheat others out of their hard work and time and just
completely become a crook then I don’t want to be rich. I would rather retain my dignity, thank
you. I don’t need a spot on the community country club to feel rich. In fact, another thing he
brings up is that rich people are usually those who fear being broke so they continue to earn more
and more. But I think it’s that they can’t get enough and they must steal more and more. But, of
course, one can only get rich if other get poorer so Kiyosaki is only showing the reader how to
make others poorer. I think it’s sick.
