Good talk overall, though the format is a kind of annoying on the web. The one comment I would make is regarding his book suggestions: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is not a total waste of time, but very close, unless you're completely oblivious to the idea of wealth.

Here's the only useful piece of info from it: buy cash-producing assets like real estate or businesses, not flashy cars or glitzy vacations.

A better book is "How to Get Rich" by Felix Dennis.



I second the vote for "How to Get rich" by Felix Dennis. It's a great read and something a bit different.


I totally agree on your points about "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Very dubious advice overall. I was fanatical about those books, and indeed, had many of them. It took me a lot of brainwashing to shake many of his notions on wealth.

I will investigate Felix's book. Thank you very much for sharing.



Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a weird book, but I took another thing away from it: practice making money. Since the article also mentions that, I suppose that is the reason it recommends the book.
