Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influenceshis two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man but fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert's best friendthat Dad was an eighth-grade dropout who became a self-made multimillionaire.
The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad." Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47.

Challenging the belief that your house is an asset
Showing parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money

and what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success.
