Rich Dad, Poor Dad

This one had been sitting on my bookshelf for a while, as I had been put off, after my just-bought-this enthusiasm, by the story-telling element about the author as a child. In particular he comes across as a very smug child, and far brighter than any child of that age has a right to be.

Then I went on a Women's Wealth Workshop and was introduced to the CASHFLOW 101 game. A few enlightening hours later, I realised the game was by the same guy, Robert Kiyosaki. The message was one I had read before in Suze Orman's book "The Courage to be Rich." - but taken a step further. That we should use our money to buy stuff that makes money - assets - not stuff that costs us money - liabilities. This is the route to financial freedom.
