Surely everyone knows time is money and knowledge is the key. Time well spent with a little effort on your part, should create more money for you… well!

So, if your interest is learning (Robert Kiyosaki’s approach) then knowledge must be the key to success, as long as you can carry through.

Ah, but Kiyosaki does not say which or what method brings personal success, or does he?

Could he simply be no more than a self made financial evangelist, or just a guy that found the key to success was selling the only asset he knew .. himself and his books on the lecture circuit.

Dont knock the guy, he has supposidly made the MDJ

Earn money, save a lot, be frugal, invest in index funds. Sometimes people need to hear things over and over, or at least the people reading these blogs don’t seem to get upset when they read “new” posts about much the same stuff.

Just some thoughts.

I am a PF blogger and that is NOT what I am doing.

Maybe I’m late to the game here, but do us a favor and don’t hand this one out. (despite the giveaway post)

#2: Protecting your money is pretty obvious, but giving the book to a Canadian PF blogger when it’s pretty clear that they’re not covering Canadian tax information is just dumb. There’s 20% I can’t use!

Goodness, this is the reason I don’t tell anyone to read “Die Broke” (10% philosophy, 90% tools that don’t apply to Americans). And really, I don’t want to hear any “success stories” from people who made money in real estate over the last 15 years.

What he believes that if you are short on money to pay the bills after savings, you’ll need to go out and make more money.

Yeah, he said this in “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, there’s another 20% of useless book. And sure, strapping yourself for cash may be a good way to get the creative juices flowing, but it is (at best) a temporary solution. Sure I can spend more time trying to make more money, but that’s not the point. I want to spend less time making just as much money.

That’s my approach, that’s what you’re doing FT. That’s what all of us crazy PF bloggers are doing: accumulating income sources that require less of our time.

Kiyosaki emphasizes that the best way to learn is through “doing” and “making mistakes”.

So in other words, the best way to learn is to… learn? Do stuff, make mistakes… what other method of learning is there? Osmosis?

Do Stuff: read, write assignments, write tests
Make Mistakes: realize that you did something wrong on the assignment, get red marks on the test paper

Sounds like every course I’ve ever taken.

OK, so that’s 60% of the book…
