I have just completed the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and co written by Sharon L. Lechter, C.P.A.

This book was first published in 1997. It is a #1 best seller on the New York Times Best Seller list. This is the first in a series and is a true story on the lessons about money that the author learned from his two “Dads”. One Dad, his biological dad, a PhD and Superintendent of Education never had enough money at the end of the month and died broke. His other Dad dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii.

My time on the school board, I continued to ask that we look at implementing some curriculum choices about money and finances. The information in this book are not taught in public schools or at colleges and universities. Every young person before they are 18 should understand how money works. The problem with your college experience is that you are hounded everyday with credit card offers and then you leave college with a huge consumer debt, including any college loans you had to simply pay for your education.

This book is important for young people and those just starting their career. This book can help if your at a crossroads in your life, no matter what age you are. It will make all the difference in the world.
