Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant: Guide to Financial Freedom

THE KING OF UNDERSTANDING MONEY!! This is my favorite wealth book. If you want to exit the rat race, there is NO other practical way out than what Kiyosaki teaches in this book. Must read!

I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad many years ago, and frankly I didn’t think much of it. The core idea is imperative to understand - poor people buy liabilities, rich people buy assets. A critical idea, but it seemed like the book was just a bunch of fluff other than hammering that one concept (though again, an important one). And i didn’t think much more about Robert and his work until I read Cashflow Quadrant. Interestingly, Robert apparently is somewhat of a controversial figure. When I mention his name, people either seem to love him, or think he’s a scam and a liar. I can’t comment too much on that, other than to say, from what I have seen in his videos and books, he seems to be a very genuine and honest person with intent to help people. Either way, it’s irrelevant. Cashflow Quadrant os a fantastic book that almost anyone should read IMO. I’m only halfway through and I’ve learned so much already. I’ve never seen this good of a perspective and practical advice on the mindset you need to evolve from an employee or self-employed to a business owner or investor. It explains the specifics of each, and how you actually need to become a different person to succeed in each, and what those mindsets are. I found myself firmly in the Self-Employed mindset, and when he explained that profile in 1-2 pages, I never felt so personally profiled. It really opened my eyes to where I’ve been stuck. Anyway, great book so far and I highly recommend it. I ended up buying the bird game as well, and it’s also one of the best tools to teach children financial intelligence, and all the things we sadly aren’t taught in school.

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad which was great and got me hooked on the series, and that was the perfect warm-up for the Cashflow Quadrant. I learned more about the way the world of money REALLY works in the 2 days it tooks me to read this book than I have in my entire life. I'm 28 now, and if I had read the Rich Dad series before I ever got my hands on a credit card, I'd be a millionaire by now. Chapter 6 of this book especially blew my mind. It's very much like the movie "The Matrix". I had no idea what was really going on in the real world before I read the first two Rich Dad books and they opened my eyes up to the systems the rich use. The problem is, most people that are not born rich feel like they can not achieve great wealth, but it is very attainable if you have the knowledge and the courage to act. These books are priceless to me, and I'm trying to get my parents to read them and break out of their "Industrial Age" way of thinking that has kept them in debt their whole lives with very little saved for retirement. Read Rich Dad Poor Dad first, because it lays the foundation perfectly for this book. You may hear people complain that there is too much repetition in these books, and there is to some extent, but it only reinforces the concepts they are trying to teach you. I don't mind that all, since that's the way you remember things, just like studying for a test. Don't listen to naysayers, these books are gold!!

This book offers a solid introduction to cash flow concepts, breaking them down in a way that’s easy to understand. While some of the content may feel outdated, it remains a valuable resource—especially due to its practical exercises. I recommend it for readers looking to build a strong foundation in financial literacy.

I am a big fan of RK so take this with a grain of salt if you hate the guys guts. First off, I've been studying money books for almost two years. Most of them were for the middle class which told you to play it safe and diversify. Answers were little and fear was great. Basically, if you had a lot of time, you could at least retire adequately from those books. So then I found RK last May and what a change! This was exactly what I was looking for: not people who couldn't walk the talk but people who had done it and done it well. Understand that RK and his wife lost most of their money and had to live with a friend (it's in their second or third book) but there's no shame in this per se as some people feel. This guy is basically telling you about his mistakes, at the risk of being attacked, and letting you avoid them. I've played CASHFLOW 101 about 30 times and moved on to 202 and have played it about a dozen times now. THe group I am with is positive and training their minds to see the invisible. One guy has already started to do r/e deals in Calif and while he is still looking around in a tough market like the Bay Area, he's moving along. RK's books are really about opening your mind to the possibilities as cliche' as it sounds. Once you decide to specialize in a particular investment vehicle (i.e. real estate, MLMS, stocks, etc), you will need to get the information from other sources. In CQ, RK covers the different boxes we all live in and how you can get out of the bad ones to the good ones. He also spends more time in helping you exercise your basic financial acumen. The important things RK's books do is give you smidgens of various fin. vehicles and, more importantly, teaches you to believe that the possibilities are out there. Let me stress that again: the possibilities ARE out there. The problem is: most Americans have trained their mind to believe there are very few and they cannot get them so they repeat this vicious circle. That's the biggest problem I've noticed since training my mind and learning. You've got to believe and you have to start seeing the possibilities: or, seeing the invisible as RK calls it. Once you start doing that, you're on your way.

For those wanting to escape the rat race, this is the best book. It offers practical advice, inspiring insights, and a roadmap to financial freedom and personal fulfillment. A must-read!
