Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert T. Kiyosaki
white settlers came to America, they were taken aback by a cultural practice some American
Indians had. For example, if a settler was cold, the Indian would give the person a blanket.
Mistaking it for a gift, the settler was often offended when the Indian asked for it back.
  
The Indians also got upset when they realized the settlers did not want to give it back. That is
where the term “Indian giver” came from. A simple cultural misunderstanding.
  
In the world of the “asset column,” being an Indian giver is vital to wealth. The sophisticated
investor's first question is, “How fast do I get my money back?” They also want to know what
they get for free, also called a piece of the action. That is why the ROI, or return of and on
investment, is so important.
  
For example, I found a small condominium, a few blocks from where I live, that was in
foreclosure. The bank wanted $60,000, and I submitted a bid for $50,000, which they took,
simply because, along with my bid, was a cashier's check for $50,000. They realized I was
serious. Most investors would say, aren't you tying up a lot of cash? Would it not be better to get
a loan on it? The answer is, not in this case. My investment company uses this as a vacation
rental in the winter months, when the “snowbirds” come to Arizona, and rent it for $2,500 a
month for four months out of the year. For rental during the off?season, it rents for only $1,000
a month. I had my money back in about three years. Now I own this asset, which pumps money
out for me, month in and month out.
  
The same is done with stocks. Frequently, my broker will call me and recommend I move a
sizable amount of money into the stock of a company that he feels is just about to make a move
that will add value to the stock, like announcing a new product. I will move my money in for a
week to a month while the stock moves up. Then, I pull my initial dollar amount out, and stop
worrying about the fluctuations of the market, because my initial money is back and ready to
work on another asset. So my money goes in, and then it comes out, and I own an asset that
was technically free.
  
True, I have lost money on many occasions. But I only play with money I can afford to lose. I
would say, on an average ten investments, I hit home runs on two or three, while five or six do
nothing, and I lose on two or three. But I limit my losses to only the money I have in at that
time.
  
For people who hate risk, they put their money in the bank. And in the long run, savings are
better than no savings. But it takes a long time to get your money back and, in most instances,
you don't get anything for free with it. They used to hand out toasters, but they rarely do that
these days.
  
On every one of my investments, there must be an upside, something for free. A condominium,
a mini-storage, a piece of free land, a house, stock shares, office building. And there must be
limited risk, or a low-risk idea. There are books devoted entirely to this subject that I will not get
into here. Ray Kroc, of McDonald's fame, sold hamburger franchises, not because he loved
hamburgers, but because he wanted the real estate ; under the franchise for free.
  
So wise investors must look at more than ROI; it's the assets you get for free once you get your
money back. That is financial intelligence. :

8. ASSETS BUY LUXURIES: The power of focus. A friend's child has been developing a nasty
habit of burning a hole in his pocket. Just 16, he naturally wanted his own car. The excuse, “All
his friends' parents gave their kids cars.” The child wanted to go into|
  
his savings and use it for a down payment. That was when his father called me. “Do you think I
should let him do it, or should I just do as other parents do and just buy him a car?”
  
To which I answered. “It might relieve the pressure in the short term, but what have you taught
him in the long term? Can you use this desire to own a car and inspire your son to learn
something?” Suddenly the lights went on, and he hurried home.
  
Two months later I ran into my friend again. “Does your son have his new car?” I asked.
  
“No, he doesn't. But I went and handed him $3,000 for the car. I told him to use my money
instead of his college money.” “Well, that's generous of you,” I said.
  
“Not really. The money came with a hitch. I took your advice of using his strong desire to buy a
car and use that energy so he could learn something.”
  
“So what was the hitch?” I asked.
  
“Well, first we broke out your game again, CASHFLOW. We played it and had a long discussion
about the wise use of money. I then gave him a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, and a
few books on the stock market.”
  
“Then what?” I asked. “What was the catch?”
  
“I told him the $3,000 was his, but he could not directly buy a car with it. He could use it to buy
and sell stocks, find his own stockbroker, and once he had made $6,000 with the $3,000, the
money would be his for the car, and the $3,000 would go into his college fund.”
  
“And what are the results?” I asked.
  
"Well, he got lucky early in his trading, but lost all he gained a few days later. Then, he really got
interested. Today, I would say he is down $2,000, but his interest is up. He has read all the
books I bought him and he's gone to the library to get more. He reads the Wall Street Journal
voraciously, watching for indicators, and he watches CNBC instead of MTV. He's got only
$1,000 left, but his interest and learning are sky high. He knows that if he loses that money, he
walks for two more years. But he does not seem to care. He even seems
  
uninterested in getting a car because he's found a game that is more fun."
  
“What happens if he loses all the money?” I asked.
  
“We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'd rather have him lose everything now rather than
wait till he's our age to risk losing everything. And besides, that is the best $3,000 I've ever
spent on his education. What he is learning will serve him for life, and he seems to have gained
a new respect for the power of money. I think he's stopped the burning of holes in his pockets.”
  
As I said in the section “Pay Yourself First,” if a person cannot master the power of self-
discipline, it is best not to try to get rich. For while the process of developing cash flow from an
