What a bunch of spoiled old bastards that can't remember where they came from!
(Mixed with some broke wannabes that never stopped working a J-O-B.)
Yes, Kyosaki's MLM and other ventures in the last 10 years are low-down, dirty scams directly from the state of Utah. I'm not going to argue for one second that whichever holding shell corp this is doesn't deserve to go bankrupt...
However, Kyosaki's gift(s) to this world is still a huge one that history will remember.
Rich Dad Poor Dad was a truly good book that he wrote before he was rich. It in fact is what made him rich, and he deserves every penny from the book sales of that one and Cashflow Quadrant. (Yes I've read both.) These two books are designed to take someone from a paycheck-to-paycheck mentality and give them a mentality of success, where you earn more each month than you spend.
Yes, yes, I know that sounds retarded to you today (you spoiled old bastards) but there was a day in your life when it wasn't common sense yet. -And to the vast majority of humanity, it still doesn't, because our school system simply will not teach us this knowledge, at least in the USA.
So I appreciate his early efforts, and wish he hadn't jumped the shark with Trump and Robert Allen way back when. He lost some, but not all respect from his existing readers for doing that.
And about the Cashflow Board game, I thought it was great. I played it about 5 times with my family and got bored with it, but for a young person to play that game, which just teaches you the importance of investments, it is a huge step forward in life that no school here would give us.
In fact, here we are decades after it was made, and there are still 421 Groups on Meetup.com just to play that stupid boardgame.
