Robert Kiyosaki had two dads...


A rich dad and a poor dad.

One dad was highly educated and intelligent. He had a Ph.D. and had completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He then went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies. All on full, financial scholarships.

His other dad never finished the eighth grade. Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes.

Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills. Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered Robert advice, but they did not advise the same things.

Each dad had a very different point of view on the subject of money. One dad would say, "The love of money is the root of all evil." The other, "The lack of money is the root of all evil." Having two dads - and loving them both - forced Robert to think about, and ultimately choose, a way of thinking for himself. In doing so, he gained valuable insights into the power and effect of one's thoughts on one's life.

At the age of nine, Robert chose not to listen to his real dad - the one with all the college degrees - on matters of money. He decided to listen to and learn from his rich dad about money. And he wants to teach you what he learned, something traditional schools don't teach.
