As you mentioned, Trump (or his writer), just agreed with Robert's points throughout the book. I also got the feeling that Robert felt a bit subordinate to Trump, there seemed to be some butt kissing on Robert's part. I'm interested in the Trump story, as far as how he built his "empire", and I used to love Kiyosaki's stories too. Used to. After reading some other bloggers book reviews on the Rich Dad series, more than one of them have found many discrepancies throughout the series. In some cases, Robert contradicted himself on the same page. Maybe I shouldn't have been disappointed, I actually should have expected what it was.

A very interesting point of view on personal finance is presented in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. Plonkee, I am lucky enough to live in Canada so I do not have to worry too much about our healthcare system. Unfortunately, ours is left efficient and sometimes you have to wait numerous hours before you see a doctor. I just can't wait to see some private clinics kicking in!

I thought it was a bunch of baloney from two showmen. What a waste of valuable time and $20. I didn’t like the book either. I thought it was a bunch of baloney from two showmen.
