A Great book for the Open Mind
This book is one of Kiyosaki's best. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" opens your mind to something never discussed before but seems so obvious. "Cashflow Quadrant" helps explain the way that Kiyosaki views the world; but "Retire Young Retire Rich" is the best book yet. All the poor reviews I've read so far have either attacked his writing as a person or have attacked the lack of concrete evidence of numbers. In every book so far he has said that he will not give the concrete numbers but will show you how to open your mind. So many people believe that they have an open mind but it's merely vacant. He doesn't offer a plan to get rich but the way he was thinking in order to become fabulously wealthy. In the beginning it talks about expanding your context so that it can except more content. Saying I can't do that or it can't be done is having a fools context. I'm only 21 and have invested in stocks, and I am about to close on my first real estate investment as a college student. The younger minds are much more free to the beauty of such thinking. If you're looking for other books to read Kiyosaki does offer many books besides his own at the end of "Cashflow Quadrant" If you'll notice throughout "Retire Young Retire Rich" he mentions his plan of buying two homes every year for the next ten years. That planning in my personal belief came from a prior book written in the early 80's called "Creating Wealth" by Robert G Allen. He also mentions "How to Make Money in Stocks" by William J Oneil. These are all fabulous books to read. So to all the bad reviewers who found no value to this book, your context is too small to except the content that this book is giving you. The wealth of information is immeasureable. I also own Cashflow 101 the game and have played with numerous other people and have seen the difference in the way people trully think. The five Rich Dad series books are wonderful and provide insight to the next. The game is expensive but I have found the true fountain of youth in my mind. Thank You Robert.

Nationally recognized CPA endorses it as a MUST buy!
If you are on a quest for financial literacy, this is a must buy foundation book for your treasure chest. This is Robert Kiyosaki at his finest. Skip the drivel from the ignorant naysayers who carp about the author's writing skills. They are right, it's not scholarly. Thank goodness! I'm a member of MENSA but personally, I prefer it like it is - readable.In Retire Young, Retire Rich, Kiyosaki is hitting his stride. This book is smoother and more advanced than his past books. So much so, that I strongly recommend that you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant first. I found it so thought provoking that it was hard to read more than a few pages at a time without going "Ah-Ha!" and mentally zooming off to ideas on how I could apply it, right now, today.
In 1980, I graduated at the top of my class and I've spent over twenty years developing my financial knowledge base. But I can tell you, I've learned more from Kiyosaki about the fundamentals of financial literacy than from any other single influence. I heartily recommend that you read this book.

A Great Book to Read If You Want to Retire Rich and Young!
I was so excited when I first read this book and I am still excited after reading it two years later. It is great to have a book that goes through a personal story and then tells you how you can apply the ideas in your life in many different ways. Robert and Sharon did well with this one. If you want to build a future for yourself outside of the rat race, this book is a must read. Similar Products
