Summary: A must for those who want to be Financially Independent
Review: This book continues from where Kiyosaki left off in Cashflow Quadrant, his 2nd book in the trilogy (now complete with Rich Dad's Guide to Investing).In his 1st book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki addressed the differences in mindsets between the Rich and the Poor. Then, in his 2nd book Cashflow Quadrant, he spoke on the 4 quadrants from which one can generate income. To be wealthy, Kiyosaki recommended that we learn to generate our incomes from the "B" (Business-owner) and "I" (Investor) quadrant as opposed to the "E" (Employee) and "S" (Self-employed) quadrant. In his 3rd book Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, Kiyosaki tells how he got started in his investment journey, starting with nothing, and in fact at one stage, with a negative net worth. Most of us, having read his first 2 books, would have wondered if we could have embarked on our journey to become financially independent without much resource at hand. In this book, Kiyosaki shows how anyone can get started and how it does not take money to make money. He teaches how time is more important than money; how investing in one's self and getting an education and experience precedes excessive cash; how having a plan is more important than being in a hurry to make money. This is not a book for those who want hot tips and quick fixes. This is a book on mindsets. Kiyosaki plants ideas and provides a road-map. The reader must take the first step and learn to navigate his/her own journey. What I like about this book, is Kiyosaki's concept of being an Ultimate Investor, a "selling-investor". The Ultimate Investor creates deals and businesses that the public hunger for and are willing to pay a premium to acquire a share of. With the internet, it has never been easier to create businesses and deals which one can take public. As in all his other books, Kiyosaki's book is worth reading again and again. I would also recommend that one reads Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income in conjunction with Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's Guide to Investing.

Summary: RDGTI is the Ultimate Investors Guide
Review: This book is about the 90/10 investor difference. As Kiwosaki explains [quoting Rich Dad] "If you want to be rich, just find out what everyone else is doing and do the exact opposite"RDGTI explains the differences between the 10% of investors who make 90% of the money and the 90% who make only 10% of the money.It's not what they invest in, but how they think.The RDGTI goes against standard, accepted dogma. To me, the greatest revelation was when I realized that by changing my thoughts, as espoused by Rich Dad AND told to Kiwosaki, I could [and did] change my investment results.The average investors philosphy is to not take risks and buy and hold [actually buy and pray--average down]I like the fact that this book is written in an easy to read format. The story telling and metaphors help drive the ideas home. The mental attitude quizzes clears the cobwebs from your head and gets you thinking like an entrepeneur, champion investor. While some of the information is repeated from the RDPD and CFQ--so what? Ever taken a class? Don't teachers review previous material before moving on to newer studies? This book builds on the prior books Kiwosaki and Lechter will tell you some things that you don't want to hear and blow holes wide open on typical misconceptions.So where do you want to be, in the 90% who go nowhere or the 10% who succeed. I have chosen to be inthe 10%. Care to join me? Start by reading this book.

Summary: Read the other RDPD books first
Review: After buying the first Rich Dad Poor Dad book, I went back for Cashflow Quadrant, but it was sold out, so instead I bought this RD's Guide to Investing.... After the first few chapters, I figured out that a lot of what he's talking about was based on the 2nd book, Cashflow Quadrant. Since we right now are stuck in the "E" Quadrant, the book Cashflow Quadrant is a necessary read, before reading the Guide to Investing. I give it 5 stars because Kiyosaki's books just make good sense. Sure, for some (specifically, those that are already financially literate) his points are too simplistic (assets vs. liabilities, buy assets instead of "doodads"), but for the majority of us seeped in credit card debt, thus making us virtually slaves to our employers and to the government, his series provides excellent guidance for getting out of the rat race, and starting to take charge of our personal business.

Summary: I'm getting rich reading Kiwosaki's books (so can you!)
Review: I love these reviewers who write junk like "Kiyosaki is getting rich writing books." NO KIDDING! His books sell. So what if he is cashing in on helping other people. School teachers make a living by teaching. Colleges make money off of you. Why shouldn't people like Kiyosaki. In fact, writing books has become so popular that certain self publishers are attempting to cash in as well. Unfortunately, some of them only offer regurgitated albeit plagerized material. For what it's worth, I'm glad that Kiyosaki is writing books. I have certaintly profited as have many others from applying his wisdom. And I hope that Kiyosaki keeps writing more and more books. Kiyosaki's advice works. For more information, read Rich Dad's Success Stories and ignore these stupid websites that are the internet version of the cheap tabloids sold in supermarket check out lines. Thank you Robert. Keep those books coming. We love em.

Summary: The worst investing book I've ever read
Review: I actively invest in both the stock market and real estate, so I thought this book would be right up my alley. Boy, was I wrong. This book is a mess of senseless quips, quotes, and lists. There's little logic and even less wortwhile informaiton. Stay away from this book. There's better stuff out there.

Summary: Rich Dad, Poor Dad & Cash Flow Quadrant
Review: I have read both of these books in order! I have suggested this book to my husband and my brother. They are now both investing! We bought the game Cash Flow 101, wow, play it over and over and you will still learn more! I have loaned RDPD to the owner of our Real Estate Company. Hope he loves it too. I am now on to ordering Guide to Investing.
Teach what you learn to your children, it will be a better foundation that what we had growing up!

Summary: The Rich Really Are Different
Review: Poor and middle class people seek to build their income, while the rich seek to build their assets, which generate income. That's the key difference between rich and poor according to Robert Kiyosaki's Guide to Investing. He spends only a little time talking about the specifics of different investments, but a lot of time discussing the philosophy of investment. The crossroads really begin when a young person leaves school and enters the world of work. That is when he or she has to choose between the four occupational quadrants, "E" (Employee), "S" (Self-Employed, or Star), "B" (Businessperson) and "I" (Investor). Anyone who wants to get rich needs to end up as an "I," but it is easiest to get there from the "B," business, quadrant. (It's hardest to get there from "E," the employee quadrant, while "S" is an intermediate case.) Businesspeople have to do many of the things that investors do, such as reading and mastering financial statements, and sizing up prospective jobseekers. (Managers of a company in which you own stock are really your employees.) This advantage is so large, that it often outweighs the advantages initially enjoyed by better-trained, higher-paid "S's" (like Robert's biological "poor dad"). On the other hand, Robert's mentor, "rich dad," morphed from a "B" into an "I," and got rich first before he became well paid. Paradoxically, rich people typically invest in small, private companies (including their own) through private equities and limited partnerships, while middle class people invest in large, public companies through publically-traded stocks and mutual funds, or what "rich dad" called "sanitized investments." Poor people hardly invest at all. Rich people can function as "angels" or venture capitalists more because of their greater sophistication than because of their money, and can therefore catch small companies during their period of highest growth, before the IPO (initial public offering). On their own, people can also become rich by creating their own assets (Bill Gates and his "operating systems" are a case in point), and then become "selling shareholders" of such assets (e.g., Microsoft). This book is just a bit wordy, and therefore not as "punchy" as the other books in the series (many of which are five-star efforts), which is why I'm giving this one four stars instead of five. Still, despite a few minor faults, it is a valuable guide to becoming a businessperson-investor. Or as Warren Buffett put it, "I am a better businessman because I am an investor, and I am a better investor because I am a businessman." Take it from the world's second richest man.

Summary: So good I read it twice - couldn't put it down! Great book!
Review: This is absolutely the besy investing book I have ever read. Everything you nned to know is in here. This is in fact how the rich become rich. I am giving this and/or other Rich Dad books away as accessory gifts at weddings, birthdays, anniversies etc. Disregard that previous review--obviously RT is a little upset that his newest website got shut down. Rich Dad's Guide to Investing is a fantastic book as are all of the books in the series. ALSO recommend Rich Dad's Prophecy which has been right on target...as is typical with Kiyosaki and Rich Dad.

Summary: Please think twice about buying this book
Review: I never read a more repetitive book in my life. I am powering through this book because I did buy it and I'm trying my hardest to find anything worth the $20 I paid for it. On top of the poor writing it's geared like an infomercial.

Summary: Powerfully impacted my investment results
Review: Prior to reading (...and applyiny) the advice in Rich Dad's Guide to Investing I was like a gerbel in a cage going nowhere with my investing. I was loosing money, not making money and my broker wasn't making me feel any better by reminding me that all of his clients were loosing money, everybody is loosing money, the market is down and so on. I recalled a saying by Will Rogers: "I am not so worried about the return on my investment as I am on the return of my investment." Listening to brokers was causing me to loose money. Rich Dad's Guide to Investing gives you all the keys you need to get to where you want to go. It's not theory, it's how the rich invest. It is how the rich become rich. I also recommend Rich Dad's Prophecy which since it has been written has been 100% accurate. That is a pretty good batting average. I'd count on the rest to be accurate as well. If you are serious about making money investing, read and apply Rich Dad's Guide to Investing and Rich Dad's Prophecy my two favorite Rich Dad books after of course Rich Dad Poor Dad.
