I recently began reading the Rich Dad's guide to smart investing (I believe that is the title). It has a lot of great information about planning for the future. How the way you think is what you will become. Instead of thinking "I don't have enough money" Instead think "What will I do when I have too much money??" The power of the mind plays a huge role in how you will end up in life- whether that be with not enough money, living paycheck to paycheck, or living with an abudance of money. The saying "Money can't buy happiness" is true, but wouldn't you feel more comfortable and secure knowing you had an abundance of cash flowing in? Mr. Kiyosaki says that most people view working as this; 1.) Security 2.) Comfort 3.) Being rich When you need it to be 1.) Being rich 2.) Comfort 3.) Security If you choose security first then you will be more inclined to take a steady paying job and working for the rest of your life, instead of taking risks and learning from mistakes. I would like to know if anyone else has read this series or the Rich Woman series and what they thought about it? Also, if anyone knows how to make a financial plan - what do you need to know in order to create a financial plan for your life? - I'm young and learning :-)

i guess you have to add luck and the blessings of the Almighty on that note...im not rich but belong to a middle class family...and contented of what i have...im not good in budgeting and saving since im an impulsive wife and a mother as well when it pertains to shopping and buying...thats good that you got plans to get rich just trust your instinct and dont forget to pray...not all that had been written in the books work...

No, but they have good basic principles to follow. Mentality is a huge difference in how people do things.
