haha Rich Dad Poor Dad, oh the memories, robert kiyosaki is controversial to say the least.
Anyway after years of discussion, the general public consensus is (from my understanding):
(1) First of the all the whole book is BS; the story about the 2 dads is a made up fictional story; it is designed to offer a lesson about money
(2) That being said, the first half of the book regarding the balance sheet assists verse liabilities is really of value; so do read this portion learn from it, but the rest of book is useless
(3) Roberts other books add no real value; they have been thoroughly analyzed by many people; his other advice and books tell you to do crazy hair brained money making schemes (some border on illegal; a lot of them, in general, involved screwing less educated people out of their life savings) or they are just garbage than will lose you lots of money
(4) Never attend any of Roberts workshops; they will try to con you (the attendee) out of 50k or more; they are all about stealing your money, not making your rich
(5) Thus, in summary even though the stories about the 2 dads is fictional, this one story in Rich Dad Poor Dad actually does illustrate some good fundamental things to know about the balance sheet and owing assets to generate passive income and to avoid liabilities. So just read the first half of the book to get this part of it and disregard the rest.
