I believe that financial education is something that we never truly learn at schools or universities.
Even some people with university degrees are having trouble finding a proper job and having a sustainable income.
So it would be nice if we could gain some advice from other sources such as books or get counsels from elder people.
Therefore, to become financially independent, we need to rely on additional sources or learn how to think outside the box and be creative in order to open new channels of income and prosperity.
I do not totally agree with all items mentioned in the book as a way to build significant wealth e.g. making money by being just the dealer. But the concept of making a distinction between income and assets and also the stress that the writer puts on the importance of financial planning to achieve long-term financial success and financial independence are interesting and deserve reading and thinking about. ( Dr. Houshmand)
Overall, I believe the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is overstated. As I said in the class, there are a great deal of other excellent books in the field of business and financial freedom that have received less credit and acclaim.
