Rich Dad's Advisors: Investing in Gold and Silver - Michael Maloney

Advantages: Inspirational; A few pieces of good common sense advice
Disadvantages: Little concrete advice; Pushes his own products too much; Promotes risky strategies

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Children That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not" is a best-selling book by self-made multi-millionaire Robert Kiyosaki. Actually, it would be more accurate to say it is his first best-selling book: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" has spawned an empire of spin-offs since it first appeared in 1997 (see www.richdad.com).

A rich man thinks like a rich man and a poor man thinks like a poor man. I have learned not to use the words "I can't afford" which limit me. The book will benefit immensely anyone who cares to read it. It doesn't matter from what ...

On the top left quadrant, he has the actively employed or employee- one who is working for somebody else and who at the end of the month gets a pay check. On the bottom left quadrant, he has the self employed. On the top right, he has the businessmen, and finally on the bottom right they he paced the Investor which I understand is what everyone is suppose to be.
