Your A+ school report card is a financial struggle waiting to happen. Unsettling, isn’t it? All that money and hardwork… is useless? Unfortunately, that's exactly what Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," wants us to consider. 

Once upon a time, young Robert was caught between two father figures with wildly different views on money. On one side, his highly educated biological father - the "poor dad" - who believed in the traditional path of good grades, a stable job, and careful saving. On the other, his friend's father - the "rich dad" - who thought outside the box and saw money as a tool to be mastered. His dinners went like this: one dad say, "The love of money is the root of all evil," while the other insists, "The lack of money is the root of all evil." 

Kiyosaki takes us on his journey of choosing which financial philosophy to follow. Spoiler alert: he sides with the "rich dad." Through simple yet powerful lessons, Kiyosaki breaks down complex financial concepts for us peasants. With real-life examples, he’ll convince you that maybe even your teachers did not have the best advice. Study hard so you can find a good company to work for? Well, Kiyosaki's says "Study hard so you can find a good company to buy." Heh!

So, prepared to take the road less traveled, as Robert Frost would say? We're about to dive into the 6 lessons that shaped Kiyosaki's financial philosophy.
