I heard about this book from a friend, I didn't rush out to buy it but I should have. I had no desire what so ever for investing. This book opened my eyes, in the 3 months since finishing "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," I have read 5 more books on investing and purchased a total of 9 more. Soon after finishing the book, I started watching real estate sales and paying more attention to stocks and bonds. When starting the book, I had nothing invested and less then a few hundred saved. Remembering I've only had 3 months since the book reading, I now have $500 in stocks and bonds and have made an unspeakable ammount from real estate purchase and reselling. I had absolutely no motivation for money or investing until I read this book, now it's made me rich.
