Rich Dad Poor Dad
In the book rich dad and poor dad basically was summons up that for an individual to be wealthy, one must aim to own the system or means of the production. In other words the book shows you how to strive for success, there is different types of ways to succeed like the book tells you.
The rich dad and poor dad both had strong point of views in earning and succeeding in life, in my opinion I would have followed on the same footsteps Kiyosaki did in following his rich dad. It is true when his poor dad says in order to get somewhere in life you have to get a good education and have a secure safe job but that really isn’t the path to become a wealth person. The rich dad’s opinion differ from the poor dad, he said in order to become wealth you first need to understand how money works.
Based on the book rich dad poor dad it taught me and changed my mind in how to deal with money and finance. That financial literacy is key, also rather own business instead of work at them. Also it thought me to understand taxes and the power of corporations.
One thing that he helped me understood was when he was explaining that the rich don’t work for money; they force money to work for them, when the rich required assets then liabilities. To know the difference an asset and liability, He quoted that “in order to be truly wealthy, your asset column must be robust and able to offset your living expenses” and that most people think that a higher income will make one richer but in reality a strong assets column will.
This book has taught me to keep motivated and reach out for my goals just that in my opinion they should have shown us and give suggestions in what we can do.

    But i learned that sometimes you just have to pull the trigger to kill your demons so somehow allow you to sleep better at night knowing there is nothing to worry about.

    The Millionaire Next Door

    • 892 Words
    • 4 Pages

    I always believed that you are considered wealthy when you make a high income. According to the authors, most high income earners are not rich, which surprised me. Most people with high incomes fail to accumulate any lasting wealth. They live hyper-consumer lifestyles, they spend their money as fast as they earn it. I always perceived millionaires as living the lavish life with their big sport utility vehicles and huge mansions. Well I was wrong, in order to accumulate wealth, one must not only earn a lot (play “good offense”), but also develop frugal habits (play “good defense”). This book focuses on spending less and earning more, which are required to succeed. Most books only focus on either spending less or earning more but to actually become rich you must do both.…

    The Millionaire Next Door

    • 1045 Words
    • 5 Pages

    “American society’s expectations are not congruent with the reality of most American millionaires”, is directly quoted from the book, and is something I agree with wholeheartedly. Before reading this book just from its title I thought it was going to be about how an average person became a millionaire and now how much different their life is. Boy was I wrong. The whole purpose of this book was to help people understand that to be wealthy does not mean you drive fancy cars or dress lavishly, but to be smart with your money and make that money grow by NOT spending and living sensibly. There are three categories of wealth accumulation illustrated in this book and they are PAW, or prodigious accumulator of wealth, UAW, or under accumulator of wealth, and AAW, or average accumulator of wealth. The two emphasized in the book are PAW and UAW, to be a PAW you are in the top percentile of wealth accumulation and to be a UAW, you are in the bottom percentile. Your typical millionaire is very frugal, and will not excessively overspend. The big difference between PAWs and UAWs is their environment as a child and their parent’s spending habits. PAWs usually come from family that believed in budgeting and being frugal. UAWs usually “learn that hyper spending is the main reward for becoming affluent in America” and therefore lower their total net worth. Let me ask you, do you think that these millionaires became…

    Through studies and statistics, he shows that those statements are false and states his observations of society. He claims that the wealthiest 1% of Americans holds 38% of the total national wealth. This leads him to claim that there is an enormous difference in the economic standing of citizens. He also claims that the middle class holds a very small percentage of the nation’s wealth and that the gap between the rich and poor and the rich and the middle is bigger than ever. Through the study of three citizens, Harold S. Browning, Bob Farrell, and Cheryl Mitchell he makes two claims. He says that class affects one’s physical and mental well-being. It also affects survival and success, the amount of time you spend on routine tasks and the amount of money you spend on food increases and you go down in class. By analyzing the relationship between SAT scores and income he proves that class standing has a significant impact on educational achievement. Furthermore he shows that not every American has an equal chance to succeed. Due to inheritance laws the wealthy have a better chance. His last observation is that racism and sexism plays a significant role in class order as well.…

    2. Yes. the essay make a case that the wealthy are exploiting the poor. For example, the author stated that the wealthiest 1 percent of the American population holds 34 percent of the total national wealth. That is, they own over one-third of all the consumer durables and financial assets. The richest 20 percent of Americans hold nearly 85 percent of the total household wealth in the country. Another example, the author said that approximately 183,000 Americans, or approximately three-quarters of 1 percent of the adult population, earn more than $1 million annually. There are nearly 400 billionaires in the U.S. Today, more than three dozen of them worth more than $10 billion each. It would take the average American a total of 28,033 years to earn just $1 billion. In my opinion, from these number, it can proved that poor people have very little chance to be rich.…

    The objective of the book is to change the reader’s psychological approach to money, success, and happiness. Like there is no such thing as a really rich victim. Rich people focus on opportunities, poor people focus on obstacles. Rich people admire other rich and successful people, poor people resent rich a successful people. Rich people are good receivers, while poor people are not. Rich people are always learning and growing, while poor people think they already know. Rich people manage their money, poor people don’t. Harv explains that the surest way to stay poor is to continue acting like the poor, by complaining, not looking for opportunities, resenting the rich, not being a good receive, not continuously learning and not managing your money. Harv has great advice and these tips are essential to understand and change your thinking about money. I find the attitude differences illuminating. Yes, it makes a big difference to focus on the positive and to spend time with positive people (not pollyana or spoiled – positive). Skills, knowledge, and persistence count too you have to be able to execute, unless you have the incredible good luck to have both a huge amount of money and a trustworthy staff. As long as you keep operating with a negative, inadequate, limited financial Self-Image, you are destined to fail no matter how smart you think you are or you are, no matter what type of business you choose, no matter how hard and how long you work at your business or job, The poor are poor because of their poor self-image. In the inside of their heads, they see themselves limited, having great difficulty making money, they believe it is real hard to make money, it takes a long time, it requires lots of sacrifices, they already imagine themselves having future problems and limitations. That is what they believe. And that is exactly what they get. The rich are rich because of their rich self-image. In the…
