I've read it and passed it on my students - the best education any one can get to be able to get out of the rat race is financial education. Unfortunately, most of us learn more of the poor mindset at home and just math at school . I wish there's a subject in school that teaches financial education . Then perhaps the world could turn it around having more rich than poor mindsets. It sucks to be poor so financial education is really important. I'm thinking of buying my niece the Rich Dad's Escape from the Rat Race: How To Become A Rich Kid By Following Rich Dad's Advice because I think it's important to teach a child this as early as possible. We unconsciously pattern our money managing habits from what we see from our parents and that - we actually learn as early as 3. I didn't know my parents fucked me up financially till I read this book. I wouldn't have done something about it having not read this. I think it's should be listed as one of the good reads.
