A critical review of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" What the rich teach their children and parents do not teach the poor book by Robert Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter. From this book i just want to point out that the subject of financial and investment culture is very capacious. All aspects of the topic covered in this article unfortunately does not succeed. What is clear is that this book is worth reading, as the noble goals set by the authors instill investment culture of parents and their children. It is recommended to purchase the game cashflow to play it at least six times. Then, if you enjoy playing it then you put aside the necessary financial knowledge. If not then you can able to do its return and refund you money for it. This book also gives us an insite as what is need vs wants and how we shouldchoose a right direction to know what determines an asset and what determines a liability.

In the U.S., the book of the series to become a millionaire, billionaire very popular quickly become bestsellers and have terrific financial effect, especially for their authors.

As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    Three generations back, Warren Buffett's great-grandfather hit it big. Sidney Buffett's story is not unlike Louis and Regina Borgenicht's story. In Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success Gladwell shows the influence that parents actions will have on their children. Louis and Regina Borgenicht were poor Jewish immigrants, trying to make a living in the big apple. Through wits, force, and hard work they built a garment industry large enough to support their family. It wasn't much at the time, but it gave their kids the boost they needed to get a head start in life. And these weren't the only garment makers in New York either. The couples that worked hard to make it work were rewarded when their children and sometimes grandchildren made it big. The majority of their descendants grew up to be successful doctors or lawyers. Sidney grew up with a poor family and hit it off big with a well-timed grocery store. This success led Sidney's son Ernest to great wealth, but even so he learned from his father's example he remained a strict miser. Ernest's son, Howard Buffett, decided to leave the family business and tried to make his way with journalism. However, he didn't inherit his father's strict work regiment and when things went south he gave up and became an investor. But then the Great Depression hit and that's when Warren Buffett entered the…
