Why We Want You to be Rich

"Why We Want You to be Rich " is a New York Times best seller by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki . I was initially hesitate to read it because I didn’t think the two men could possibly come from the "same place" and work as a team. But their sub -title "Two Men - One Message" says it all…. they really did come across as a team.

I have found myself referencing comments and quotes frequently from this book, because their perspective and insight on world affairs and our economy is eye opening. They hit things right on the head such as the "entitlement mentality " I mention at times. Those people who expect their employers, families, or countries to take care of them. Both of these men are on a mission to help educate people in our society through "financial education "…. the only way to solve our countries money problems.

One of the quotes from the book, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

I would encourage you to get a copy and read it for yourself . There are some good "How To’s" in the book in getting you started on the right path to educating yourself. Your future depends on you!
Please leave a comment about your thoughts on their perspective and if it got you "thinking"…

Why Listening To Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki Makes Good Financial Sense

I’ve recently finished reading “Why We Want You to Be Rich” by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki and they have some really interesting points throughout their book. 
To quote one part, they say “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 world democracy itself.  We want you to be rich so you can be a part of the solution….rather than part of the problem.”

I found that to be thought provoking and a bit strange that these two men would give a darn if I was rich or not and thought there was something in it for them, and I would eventually hear their “pitch”.  But throughout the book they really stress “financial education” and the lack of training we receive (in general) on this topic, although it is SO important to society.

I’d recommend reading this and will likely refer to different parts of their book in future posts.
Until next time… J.
