A bit off topic, what i learned from this book is...

- write a best seller
- get rich

-----------------------------------------------

this book no doubt simplify lots of financial management stuff, making it a popular book. But it is mainly depends on how you understand things, just like different people reading bible have different conclusion.

But like what someone posted up there, MLM'er has used this book as a tool to get people in:

- buy rich dad poor dad
- join MLM
- get rich

You can always put a different understanding:

- buy rich dad poor dad
- resign from your day job
- do business
- get rich

Or simply

- buy rich dad poor dad
- read for fun
- buy another book to read

Or even

- buy rich dad poor dad
- read it
- continue your life but with a better understanding on financial control
- get rich
