Rich Dad, Poor Dad 

Robert T. Kiyosaki, a personal finance author and presenter, owes his distinctive economic outlook to two very different influences: his two fathers. One parent (Robert’s true father) was a well-educated man who struggled financially. The other parent was Robert’s closest friend’s father, who was a self-made multi-millionaire after dropping out of eighth grade. His ‘poor dad’s’ lifelong financial struggles hammered home the opposite message delivered by his ‘rich dad.’
