New Book -- Why We Want You to Be Rich

I just picked up the new Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) book entitled "Why We Want You to Be Rich."

I haven't read the whole book yet but I think it will have some interesting comments. The introductions states:

"The rich are getting richer, but are you?

"We are losing our middle class, and a shrinking middle

class is a threat to the stability of America and to the world

democracy itself. We want you to be rich so you can be part of

the solution . . . rather than part of the problem."

Chapter 21 is titled: "I am Still In School, What Should I Do?" Some of the key points:

Robert

• If you're in high school or younger -- focus on having fun.
• If you are growing up in a family who think wanting to be rich is bad, even evil, keep quiet. Find friends that think like you.
• If you have a supportive family take them along for the journey.
• Remember to be kind and respectful to all kids and not be a snob.
• Take time to learn from your mistakes rather than trying to avoid making mistakes.
• Two great exercises -- prepare a budget and learn how to make money with money.
• Seek out a mentor/apprentice relationship.
• Complete your education
• Study accounting and business law (that doesn't mean you need to become an accountant or lawyer!)
• Understand cash flow

Donald

• Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing "enough."
• Keep up with current events worldwide.
• Do not neglect your life skills.
• Spend some time on your focus.

It seems that they cover many of the points that I plan to talk about here. While I can't recommend the book yet since I haven't read it all, it might be something to take a look at. Stay tuned!
