What is the Best Way to Make Money?

The book "Rich Dad Poor Dad” became an international bestseller because of its intriguing ideas on how to make money. The writer, Kiyosaki, a Japanese American, presents two kinds of dad: a rich dad who loves wealth and a poor dad who loves education. The rich dad thinks that one doesn't need to have a college degree in order to make money. In fact, he criticizes schools as old fashioned and quite useless in the practical world of making money. He thinks that financial literacy should come first before anything else.

The poor dad believes in the merit of old fashioned education focusing on morals and values. Needless to say, Kiasaki agrees with the rich dad's ideas. He thinks we should teach people the value of money as early as possible. He thinks that most people lack financial literacy, and so they are always slaves of money all their lives. Not unless they build their own corporation and be freed from the governments tax burdens. Otherwise, they will always be caught in the "human rat race.”
