If you get a paycheck, don't spend it all on wants, save some and invest.Because of the author's background and interest, the book is considered a good real estate book.I think it's a good personal finance book in that it makes you think about money and future needs.Whether "Rich Dad" is real or not is not as important as the overall ideas the book talks about.I would compare RDPD book to "The Richest Man in Babylon."
