Retire Young Retire Rich: How to Get Rich Quickly and Stay Rich Forever!
Are your financial plans on the fast track or the slow track? If you are like most, retiring early sounds great; more time to do what really interests you. To get on the fast track, you need to leverage your mind, your plan and your actions. In Retire Young Retire Rich, Kiyosaki details how he and his wife Kim achieved financial freedom in less than ten years. More importantly, he shows how a context shift in your mind allows you to create a plan that formulates the actions necessary for your fi

More great ideas, more great context – huge value for money,
This fourth book in the main series follows through the logical progression from ‘taking care of your business’ to retiring and doing what you want to do full time. Some people in the UK may find Robert Kiyosaki’s American enthusiasm and repetitive writing style a bit hard to take – just stick with it and realise that making money is something that Americans do better then us! Others may say that you ‘can’t do those things here’ – may I suggest to them that they need new advisors as I have not had any problems in implementing these ideas. I would read ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ and ‘Cashflow Quadrant’ before this book – could be a bit much at once otherwise.
The big gain from this, as with all the books, is the sense of challenge and attitude that comes across. Combined with the specific ideas for action and areas to think about Robert is able to lead you towards acheiving your financial goals, whatever they are.
Retiring before 45 is a dream that most us share, but few think is possible. I would rate these four books as being of equal value in helping me to be on track to reach this goal (despite having started at 31 years old), as my MBA. The MBA tells me how, Rich Dad helps me think of why, when and what.
The true value of these books is really demonstrated by their life expectancy on my book shelf at home. I have leant a number of copies of Rich Dad Poor Dad to friends and family, none of which have ever been returned! Since then my sister is now starting her own company and writing a book and friends have made some very profitable moves into property investment. None of these people, including myself, talked about such things before reading Robert’s books.
Buy this book. Read it. then hide it and re-read it every few months – if you don’t you will probably find that it disappears and those close to you start to have more money in their pockets!
A real delight.

|A rehash of the same lessons from Rich Dad Poor Dad,
I went to a lecture by Robert Kiyosaki, at the launch of this book and was disapointed that the lecture and the book were a rehash of the lessons brought forward in the original Rich Dad Poor Dad books. The book is written live a novel and there is a lot of repetition from other books and from the earlier chapters of the book itself. It did not leave me as inspired as the earlier books and was a struggle to get through. I’d say if you’ve read Rich Dad, Poor Dad – you’ll not get much more out of this book.

|This book could change your life..,
You only need to look at the number of reviews (positive and negative) for this book and others in the rich dad series to see that is considerable interest in the Mr Kiyosaki themes. I don`t want to repeat these reviews again since many of them have already given a very clear picture of what you will get out of this book. However, I wish I had read this book when I was younger and my life might have been different. I am not saying that I would have become an overnight entrepreneur but this book has made me look differently at money and possesions. I now realise the things that I thought were important, i.e. working my way up the career ladder and buying houses, cars..Etc are in many ways the things that are really dragging me down and stopping me from becoming financially independent. I am now actively pursuing ways of generating passive income as Mr Kiyosaki suggests. This realisation alone is more than worth £10 or so that you spend on the book. The book is highly motivating and using the great (if doubtful) story of his two dads, Mr Kiyosaki really convinces you that you can be rich if you just wish hard enough.
But if you are already convinced of the need to generate passive income then there is little use in buying this book. There is little in the way of specific information on how to generate cashflow. The anecdotes that are provided relate only to specific situations that would not work again in a million years. For more hard information the reader is only referred to other books in the series. I have not read the other books but I have a feeling however that the law of diminishing returns operate here and that you could buy the whole series but not really be much further forward. Clearly there is no easy and risk free method to becoming rich.
