The Thimbles Summary
Rich Dad Poor Dad
The book in one sentence
Kiyosaki argues that financial freedom comes from understanding money, owning assets that produce income and making your money work for you, rather than from a high salary alone.
Who it's for
Readers who have never been taught about money, employees wondering whether a steady job is enough, and would-be entrepreneurs and property investors looking for a motivational push.
The big idea
Kiyosaki, who grew up in Hawaii, tells the story of two father figures. His “poor dad” was his own father, a highly educated man who became head of the state’s education system but struggled with money all his life. His “rich dad” was the father of his best friend, Mike, a businessman who left school early and became very wealthy. The book contrasts their attitudes. One valued a secure job and a good salary. The other valued owning businesses and investments. Kiyosaki presents rich dad’s views as the better guide. This summary describes his views and is not personal financial advice.
