My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

[@afr0flava]

Let me add to that. Although I haven't read this book, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad early last year and guess what - I was so inspired, I took action and started a small online business. It went well but I got too excited and invested in a second product. This time around, I got a business loan - grave mistake as the product didn't turn out as expected and I got into debt (good debt turned bad debt). Moral of the story - yes, start a business, but ensure you have CASHFLOW to sustain it, as well as actually LEARNING a lot about the business and doing the due diligence required to run a successful business. That's my 2 cents, hope it helps someone out there. :)

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

This is really helpful afr0flava! Thank you for sharing 😊 Debt spent recklessly (not necessarily saying this was you) is always bad debt, no matter if it's poured into a company or into a luxury car.

If that’s your approach to reading KIYOSAKI’s books then you’ve missed a whole lot of Education...he’s repeating those things to knock’em hard into the readers’ heads.

[@BenGenio]

Since people are so trapped in the Rat Race, their minds need to be reprogrammed. He does that by telling stories and actually force their readers to spend time reading and thinking. Hard to achieve that by just ignorantly summarize the book in one sentence.

[@Real.Estate.Report]

My upbringing is surprisingly similar to the story in this book. I ended up stuck in the rat race starting at age 19 and still there at age 34. But really hustling to live off my rentals and KZbin in the next 2 years. Wish me luck!

Increasing expenses is needed as long as the cashflow (passive income) is more than the debt

[@benjapolcycling]

It was a great summary but as I listen to audio book many times I am thinking of his 5 level of investor idea that not in here. I think it will be more complete to include 5 level of investor as well. Also another key point for me is "investing is a plan, a personal plan"

[@doctorkokus]

I really like Roberts take on debt, but i am also quite keen on the Buffet-stance that you don't need debt to make huge amounts of money. I would also reffer to your Peter Lynch video and the idea that if you use leverage and the market goes down you would be eridicated so you wouldn't reap the benefits of the rebound. Nice video though

[@mardini]

i've heard of his books but never actually read it. but in a quick summary, a business does not succeed in by maximizing expenses. a lot of things a business buys like inventory, or asset investments are not considered expenses, and reinvesting company's revenue into the company is also NOT minimizing income, u reinvest the company with retained earnings. He literally have to give new meanings to these words in order to make himself sound smart. its like saying in order to lose weight u have to get FAT, by fat i mean really good BMI and lots of muscle mass u know the standard fat. also a typical "poor" person does NOT maximize income and minimize expense! his statements literally says every single employee who does zero personal investments are considered poor, which means if a US president does not do any investments he/she is considered poor. his continuous labeling do this and ur rich or do this and ur poor is just a cash grab feeding off ppl's poor judgement to buy his book.

[@dolevmazker736]

You are right man. Robert kiyosaki is a dark man. Yes his books do inspire people, but when you attain financial learning you understand that he talks rubbish and his story isnt even checked out with facts. Who is the rich dad? Where is the proof he was in the army? And so and so...

[@hameernagda2921]

@@dolevmazker736 True. His major focus on real estate business cannot be worked out from developing and underdeveloped countries where the cost of borrowing is higher than the rate of inflation. US has it the other way round and so do the developed countries but it is not possible in the other countries. His focus is always on business, but what about people who are earning a good salary, lying in that top 5% income of the country, I mean they are doing well in life. Why put that down is something I don't get it. Also for families where the kid has seen the business not doing well (which a case with most businesses, the fact that barely 5% businesses really boom) why would he not get that mindset of job security and stabilising his family income. I would agree with such a person's thoughts for he has seen those hardships. Of course the good part of it was focusing on spending on necessities and investing rather than splurging on unnecessary luxuries, avoiding debt traps mainly those that create liabilities rather than assets. Those are some good points. It is should always be this ratio - Income (-) Savings (-) Necessary Expenses = Additional savings (+) Luxuries (meaning receive it, save first, spend on the basic needs then if you have some left over save more and then maybe you can have that 1 cheat purchase a month) These are my 2 cents

[@dolevmazker736]

@@hameernagda2921 Damn bro, speaking facts. You are so right on the side of business and the 9-5 jobs. The thing that people dont talk about is that most people just want to make enough money to live a respectable life. It is great to aim high but being a multimillionare is just a figure. Once you realize that having enough money to be comfortable to do what you like without having to worry about tomorow is what im aiming for. And I dont mean retiring before im 60, its a nice thought but perfectly fine working 90 hours a month making great income while still having the time to learn what I love. Kiyosakis whole idea is to the extreme, and I dont see it that way. Its nice to meet someone who shares my views. Good luck to you

[@hameernagda2921]

@@dolevmazker736 Yeah it's true. I appreciate your thoughts. At the end of the day for a good life happiness and a good family is the most important. Once you have that amount of wealth which helps your life to be comfortable it will all come down to those 2 important facts. There is no point working on that business which is taking so long to set up that your family suffers both monetarily and non monetarily. Coz at the end of the day if the people you are working for are not happy, nothing will matter. No amount of wealth can give that satisfaction that your own folks happiness will and that you can be there for them and they will be there for you. Yes you should do smart investments and build passive income streams to ensure stable income flow because they are necessary. But toiling hard and ending up losing those significant years of life will surely make me regret on the deathbed when there's no one around. Why die in a mansion with no one when you can live in a good house with everyone.

Worth to note is also the fact, that this book only "works" if you apply it to the America Economy and IRS Tax System. If you live in the UK, everything that is Tax Free in America is pretty heavily taxed in England. That's why all the people who wanted money and freedom moved to America long ago. Those who stayed had "servant mentality" and it shows. Being a Landlord in the US is completely Tax-Free. Being a Landlord in the UK is taxed as heavily as everything else.

[@lenny108]

Nice advice for the upper-middle class which is about to get crushed, see, "The middle-class is disappearing". Robert's poor dad provided a home in Hawaii and surely passed on some solid seed capital to Robert. So these teachings are mainly for the upper-middle class to stop maintaining or buying fake assets but focus on real assets, passive income. The penniless working class cannot possibly succeed with Robert's idea of using debt to buy real estate. There has to be substantial seed capital. Formerly in the US, the saying was, "From Dishwasher to Millionaire". But this is no more, rather vice versa, rich people becoming homeless. Of course there is the law of karma, poor refugees coming with a plastic bag of utensils to a new country and after ten years, they are millionaires. Since not all people can become entrepreneurs, imagine a city, no workers, only entrepreneurs, there is another option of refusing to take part in the rat race, choosing a spiritual path, living like a monk and only focusing on spiritual development.

Only thing I Dont feel like i have a good grasp on is What Capital to use in the start.. Im thinking starting a business part time is the first Best move and When that is off the Ground, you take the Capital from/in that business and start Getting more cashflowing Assets? Is it good to use the equity in the first rental property to help finance the next one? Problem with doing that, is that it does bring much more risk because IF the housing market crashes while you have borrowed in the equity, the creditor might force you to pay up right away, because of the fact that you now Owe more than the first House is “worth” in the market .. anyone can give some insight?

[@TheSwedishInvestor]

As long as you have a decent cash flow to pay those interest and principal payments, I think most financial institutions will leave you alone even if your end up in an "upside-down" loan situation (loan > equity). I would use equity from the first rental property, but I would make sure that I have a nice margin of safety when I compare my cash flow and my interest payments.
