Rich Dad Poor Dad

Today I was browsing through some few blogs find interesting article about Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert T Kiyosaki. Hope you will find below summary of the book and start explore on this.

"Know the difference between assets and liabilities"; "Buy Assets"

"Rich people acquire assets; The poor and middle class acquire liabilities, but they think they are assets."

An asset is something that puts money in my pocket.

A liability is something that takes money out of my pocket.

This is really all you need to know. If you want to be rich, simply spend your life buying assets. If you want to be poor or middle class, spend your life buying liabilities.

Robert T. Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad says, 3 type of Income they are Earned income ("work for owner"), Passive income, and portfolio income.

In the bottom of the income statement are taxes ("work for government"), ownership-related expenses, and other expenses. Subsequent diagrams expand on portfolio income (dividends, interest, rental income, royalties), ownership-related expenses (mortgage payments, real property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities), and other expenses (fixed expenses, food, clothing, fun).



In the left side of the balance sheet are assets which create income--your business, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, income-generating real estate, notes, and intellectual property. In the right side of the balance sheet are liabilities ("work for bank") which create expenses--consumer loans, credit cards, and mortgages.

Poor Dad says, "Go to school, get good grades, and find a safe secure job." In other words, concentrate on earned income in the top of the income sheet.

Rich Dad says, "The rich don't work for money, they have their money work for them." In other words, concentrate on passive and portfolio income in the top of the income sheet--with passive income being faster. In the bottom of the income sheet, the government taxes earned income the most, and passive income the least.
