Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom Paperback – August 16, 2011

Great read and a lot of useful information inside

LOVE this book. It is so informational and it has taught me so much. I recommend this book to everyone!

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 While some of the content may feel outdated, it remains a valuable resource—especially due to its practical exercises.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.

If you've read Rich Dad Poor Dad, then this is the next book to read. It dives further into the quadrant he touches on in the first book.I see these two books as less about gaining wealth (while that is still a big factor) and more about how to view "how money is made and by whom." Once you get your head around that, the world changes forever.I'd rather make money work for me than work my life away for money. Wouldn't you? I'd rather make a few smart investments and nurture those lines of income than live paycheck to paycheck. I'd rather live comfortably and enjoy my life than struggle to make ends meet and watch my life pass before my eyes.It's not about riches... it's about wealth. It's not about greed... it's about smart financial planning. And guess what? Everyone's invited. Money is color blind. If you can do wonders with it, people will give it to you to make your magic happen. It doesn't matter who you are. Cashflow Quadrant shows you why you need to go from E to I regardless of who you are.Good luck! Great book. Easy read. You'll never look at making money the same way again... (unless you've read RDPD, in which case... you're already on that journey.) OH!!! And older versions are just as good as the newest one. You won't miss out on anything if you buy the cheapest one. (((Plus, his predictions pre-2008 are crazy and on the mark!)))

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.
