Millions
of families can no longer afford to live on two incomes. A
generation ago, a typical middle-class family lived on the
income of one breadwinner. In recent years it has taken two
working spouses to live the modern middle-class dream. Now,
it seems even that is not enough to survive the skyrocketing
cost of living while saving for retirement and shouldering
growing debt loads. |

Author
of Rich
Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic
perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences:
his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and
the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest
friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his
"poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were
never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home
the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the
poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have
money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki
was able to retire at 47. Rich
Dad, Poor Dad explodes the myth that you need to earn a high
income to become rich. It challenges the belief that your
house is an asset and shows parents why they can't rely on
the school system to teach their kids about money. |

| The
Rich Dad series, begun in 1997, is based on Kiyosaki's childhood
observations of the lessons passed down by his father, a well-educated
wage slave, versus those of his closest friend's father, an
eighth-grade dropout and multimillionaire. The difference,
he determined, is that the poor and middle class work for
money, but the rich let money work for them. The wisdom passed
on by the rich dad is a type of financial literacy that is
never taught in schools. Kiyosaki also developed a board game,
Cashflow
101, which is used in his seminars to generate ideas on
how to achieve financial independence. This book, the seventh
in the series, contains real-life stories of people who applied
the Rich Dad principles to their lives and are moving from
the rat race of employment to the role of business owner and
investor. In their own words, regular folks show how they
went from financial struggle and crisis to taking control
of their financial education and future. |

Rich
Dad, Poor Dad:
What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and
Middle Class Do Not!
Rich Dad, Poor Dad lays out Robert Kiyosaki's philosophy behind
his relationship with money. Although he can take a frustratingly
long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly
advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never
taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating
assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even
the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets
might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed.

Your
Idea Can Make You Rich: Dragons' Den
Many
of us dream of running our own business, but lack of experience
and entrepreneurial skills often prevent people from making
that first step. For those with the nouse, confidence and,
crucially, vision it should be easy — but a great idea
doesn't mean investors will be queuing up at your door. In
the TV series "Dragons' Den", entrepreneurs were
put on the spot in front of a panel of potential investors.
Given only minutes to pitch their idea, the pressure was on
— some simply frazzled in the fiery breath of the dragons,
others sweated it out, made it through, and saw the money
on the other side. With essential insider advice and tips,
this handbook will guide you through the hazardous process
of finding your product, identifying your market, developing
and maximizing your business acumen, honing your presentation
skills, and finding the right partner. And most importantly,
how to close the deal when you do find it.
