Does school prepare children for the real world? This is the first question the reader encounters in this book. The message is bold and direct: a good education and high grades are not enough to guarantee someone's success. The world has changed; most young people have credit cards even before finishing their studies, and have never had a lesson about money, investments, interest, etc. In other words, they go to school, but remain financially illiterate, unprepared to face a world that values spending more than saving.
According to the author, the most dangerous advice one can give a young person today is: “Go to school, get good grades, and then look for a secure job.” The fact is that the rules are different now, and there are no more guaranteed jobs for anyone. Rich Dad, Poor Dad demonstrates that the issue is not being an employee or an employer, but having control over one's own destiny or delegating it to someone else. This is Robert Kiyosaki's thesis in this substantial and visionary book. For him, the education provided by the school system does not prepare young people for the world they will encounter after graduation.
And how can parents teach their children what school neglects? This is another of the many questions the reader will find in Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In this sense, the author's proposal is to make the parents' task easier. Those who understand accounting should forget their academic knowledge, because many of the theories presented by Robert Kiyosaki contradict commonly accepted accounting principles and offer a valuable and modern perspective on how investments are made.
Society is undergoing radical changes, perhaps on a scale greater than those experienced in past centuries. There is no crystal ball, but one thing is certain: the global perspective of these transformations transcends our immediate reality. Whatever happens,
There are only two alternatives: security or financial independence. And the goal of Rich Dad, Poor Dad is to educate the reader and awaken their financial intelligence and that of their children.
“"The main reason people have financial problems is that they spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that they learn to work for money… but never to make money work for them." – Robert Kiyosaki.
