FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets: How Lies Are Making the Poor and Middle Class Poorer

Excellent read. Great quality paperback

ROBERT MY NR 1 MENTOR

Really educational. Easy to read

I love this book. It is full of nuggets. Eye opening read for everyone who does not understand what real money is. Robert Kiyosaki a brilliant teacher, guide entrepreneur. Love this book. It is great like all his work

I did learn from this book and did enjoy it however there was a bit of repitition will did get on my nerves a little bit, but I did enjoy the most of it and it has made me want to read more books and learn more

Outstanding read and really a wake up call for the next crash that is inevitable.A little repetitive things said throughout but all the more to drill home the information you need!

Great book! Opens your eyes to whats really behind bankink system. Easy to read to non native english speaker

I thought this book was a god read and some very good issues covered which I found useful. The few issues which I felt I didn’t like was that it kept repeating points quite often throughout and also I felt like the author was trying to sell me into one of the real estate courses. On the whole I am glad I bought it as learnt new stuff.

The book is an eye-opener for me! A must read for everyone who wants to escape the matrix and wants to live a free life

Excelente

Robert Kiyosaki is legit. I know that. I kept that in mind as I read Fake and learned, for the first time, many of the concepts other reviewers have already learned in his other books.This is my first stab at truly getting educated financially. I'm from the middle class and now, at 33, find myself with a successful small business, excellent cash flow, and lots of ideas on what to do with my money... but I didn't have much confidence in any of it.UNTIL NOW.Since discovering Robert's wisdom by reading this book, I've made a lot of progress and learned a lot I didn't know. Which turned out to be most things. I'd seen a lot of "conspiracy theory"-type information online about what's going on in the world banking system, but in hearing it laid out from Robert in this book somehow validated it for me. I think it's because we're both in the same industry of helping people get real education without going deeper into debt to do it! I can see so much of myself in this wacky, big-hearted Asian American guy with purple glasses. I can literally do what he has done in his lifetime with my own business and assets. So I'm going to try!As a result of reading this book (I've actually got about 80 pages left to read as I write this), I finally feel empowered to take 100% responsibility for my financial situation. This is a big deal for me as I married young and trusted my now ex-husband and his "save EVERYTHING for retirement" rubber-chicken-dinner-going parents for financial advice.Bad move... divorce hit and I lost almost all my cash to my ex husband ($2M) -- so I could keep my business, which had generated all of that cash. That enabled me to stop paying him a paycheck forever... but it meant being basically broke for a few months while the business generated revenue to replenish its storehouses a bit. It freaked me out at first. I mean, what if the business failed? What if I needed the guy I'd just fired via divorce?That was all fear talking. Now I realize how fortunate I truly am -- business is booming again! And thanks to Robert, I know how valuable a stable business is. What a REAL ASSET it is. When I was married I left all the money management up to my husband who had everything in ETFs... fake assets.Getting divorced forced me to gain my own understanding of the financial world and BOY OH BOY was the timing perfect... I can't imagine how hard it would be to unlearn all of the FAKE financial knowledge if I'd been brainwashed like the people who're still attending fancy dinners put on by their wealth managers. They'll learn in their own time too. We all do!I also enrolled in Rich Dad's real estate investing course for $400 or so; what a deal for the money, too -- it comes with 6 live group sessions. I got my questions answered live by the instructor on the first call too. I own one rental property right now and am taking steps to expand that portfolio. THIS is the power of knowledge! It's just confidence. The more you know about what's REALLY going on in the world banking system, the easier it is to understand your own financial situation... and it's easier to take the steps to fix it if it's a mess.NOW... I'm an online "real world" education provider myself... and I'd be remiss if I didn't share the small handful of things that really irritated me about this book:-- REPETITIVENESS. A quality editor or ghostwriter could have helped Robert make this book more concise and less choppy. There are a LOT of repeat charts (that I also find hard to read) and quotes. As someone new to Robert's stuff, I didn't find this as irritating as a veteran reader might've since it helped me cement my understanding.-- TYPOS. Nobody's perfect (trust me; my blog is about proofreading and I KNOW this ;-))... but there are a LOT of typos in this book. More than someone making as much bank as Robert should have in his book. Hiring a proofreader is not as pricy as you might think. Even first-time authors who maybe can't afford both editing and proofreading are still better hiring a proofreader than not having professional editorial assistance at all.Some of the Q&A questions were so poorly answered they should have been left out. And Robert pasted in looooong links to videos we have no other choice but to try to type in. I tried to type in one for a 45-minute video on page 378 he said I could watch if I went to this long-ass link... but I typed the WHOLE THING IN to find it doesn't exist. I really wanted to watch that video! I'm sure it's somewhere. I bought the guy's book (Tax-Free Wealth) anyway and plan to read it next.All that to say, I still HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. I have recommended it so much already and will continue to do so. For the first time in my life, I feel confident about my financial future -- and it's because it's in MY hands. "Real financial education," as Robert so often calls it, really does matter. I always tell my students that "learning changes everything"... and well, it's way cool to see that truth playing out in real time before my very eyes!!Even if you really can't afford this $14 book, go on YouTube to Robert's channel (Rich Dad Channel) and learn from him there. But if you're struggling financially and wondering how the heck you're going to maintain the energy to outrun inflation on a personal level in the long haul... you can't afford NOT to shell out the $14. INVEST in learning. The time's gonna pass anyway.

I must say i have read a couple of Robert's books and i was quite impressed how he can gather several "hard" topics and summarize them in a way must people without financial background can understand (in a basic level). And he had this unique point of view which was inspiring and easy to read. Also the way he writes is not heavy if you take on consideration the length of his books. But what happened with this book?. I have no idea. This is something a 5yo child could write. First of all there's some kind of paranoia going in the book, second I can summarize the entire book (no kidding) in 5 pages TOP. There are like 6 Graphics that go unexplained and Robert "copy & paste" them like he was on meds. Each chapter ends with "in the next chapter you will learn.." and trust me the next chapter you learn nothing (not even what he wrote). I read the reviews before buying the book but i thought that people was exaggerating. Well they were NOT. If you want me to summarize the book in a sentence I CAN "buy gold or silver and don't buy stocks, look advise in teachers that actually do what they teach and remember assets put money in your purse". If you don't believe you're gonna have a sour experience.

Yes like the other reviews, I think there was a serious mess up with the editor in the first few chapters, someone was in a hurry and did not READ the book.How ever once you get past them he makes some good points. He does use the same graphs over a few times, but I think he is wanting you to get it.Its really true about the "fake" we are dealing with today. Anyway if you read enough of his work you can really see the scam that is going in the world today, ripping off the people. I enjoyed it and shared with a friend that also enjoyed it.
