Customer Reviews

Rich Dad Poor Dad
After reading "Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom" by Van Tharp and being absolutely inspired by the content on creating trading system, I just had to read more by him.
Unfortunately I was disappointed by this book, as I had expected more trading strategies, whereas this is more about sorting out your debts and finances and becoming financially free.
It reads very much like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Rich Dad)
and similarly is very heavily geared to the American market with property investment opportunities not necessarily available outside of the US.
The principles about reducing debt and increasing income are all sound, as is the discussion about Assets vs Liabilities, but again, if you have read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" you won't learn too much from this, though it may serve to reinforce the principles in your mind and encourage you to take action if you haven't done so already.
