The #1 NewYork Times bestseller that started the phenomenal series is now available in this special Spanish language edition. While growing up, personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki had two paternal role models: one, his father, a well educated but fiscally poor man; and two, his best friend's father, an eighth-grade dropout who became a self-made multimillionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his 'poor dad' pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his 'rich dad,' and Kiyosaki developed a unique economic perspective. In RICH DAD POOR DAD, he lays out his philosophy behind his relationship with money, sharing the secrets that allowed him to retire at 47. Among them, he addresses the myth that earning a high income is necessary to be rich, challenges the belief that a house is an asset, and explains what kids need to know about money for their future financial success.
