Book Review - Why we want you to be rich!

Why We Want You To Be Rich: Two Men - One Message
by Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump


This book is an interesting read suitable for the young generation today. Aside from the fact that it is written by a billionaire and star of the reality hit show the apprentice - Donald Trump and a best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad & Rich Dad series- Robert Kiyosaki. Two titans in their own right. This is an easy read and is motivational in nature.


In a nutshell, Why We Want You to be Rich is NOT a how to book that teaches you to get or become rich ,but a book that tells you WHY should be rich. It's a book that puts implications on a list of consequences that will inevitably come about if you choose not to pursue financial security, and counteracts these consequences with motivational talks that will send you on your way to riches.


What i like more about this book is that both authors shared passion for education and their desire to bring emphasis to the importance of strong financial skills and understanding.

Donald and Robert focus on why and how people can take action in their lives and contribute to solutions as opposed to magnifying the problems.


Key themes are the following:

Do you invest not to lose or do you invest to win?
• How do you invest to win? Do you give your money to a financial advisor or do you research for yourself?
• Why investing doesn’t have to be risky and how you can be in control.


Shared Concerns: The Shrinking Middle Class... and the opportunity to choose to be among the rich instead of the poor

Defining Moments: How life is filled with lessons and how best to learn to see them and apply them to your financial well-being and your life

Financial literacy is the road to mastery over your finances, your future and your life...
and it begins with educating yourself.
