"Rich Dad, Poor Dad"'s Robert Kiyosaki - Impressions? Opinions?
Edited on Sun Mar-19-06 06:08 PM by Yavin4
My impression is that he's a con-man. There's no such system that will make everyone wealthy. None. He's selling snake oil. Real estate overall is indeed a good investment, but it's also loaded with peril if you don't know what you're doing.

you may be on to something, but you didn't hear that from me.

3. he's a Kevin Trudeau type IMO
he is very good at marketing and selling. His book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" shouldn't be taken literally or practically. It is more like an inspirational and motivational story and a broad outline about how to look at wealth and money in a new way.

6. I almost got taken in
I'd go with the con man. I think he came up with those waterproof velcro wallets and parleyed that into real estate. This makes him and expert and a great teacher?
