If you are 21 years of age and you do not have at least $100 to invest in yourself… this kid should inspire you.
The philosophy of Rich Dad was built from a simple lesson learned by Robert Kiyosaki at an early age. He had two dads — one rich and one poor.
Robert’s poor dad, his natural father, was highly educated, the head of the Hawaiian school system, and enjoyed a decent salary. Yet, he constantly complained about being broke and continually said, “I can’t afford it.”
Robert’s rich dad, his best friend’s father, was a high-school dropout building a business. He wasn’t wealthy. Yet, he constantly enjoyed the finer things in life and always asked, “How can I afford it?”
The contrast between Robert’s two dads taught him a great lesson. Robert realized his poor dad’s outlook suppressed his dreams and closed his mind to the possibility of financial freedom. He died penniless and full of regret.
His rich dad’s outlook elevated his dreams and opened his mind to life’s possibilities. He achieved great wealth, financial freedom, and enjoyed life to the fullest.
Both were good and highly capable men. But only one lived richly.
It’s time to get off your a$$ and create your own economy.
