RICH DAD POOR DAD

I'm reading 'RICH DAD POOR DAD' which is one of THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERS.The book is based on a true story in Hawaii.
Robert is the main character who has two dads.One of them is real,the other one is his best friend's father.The real father is well educated intelligent guy who has a PhD.He makes enough money.
Robert's best friend's,Mike's, father is a businessman who has a couple of grocery stores and a construction company.He is one of the wealthiest people in Hawaii.
One day Mike and Robert want to make money at the age of 7,so they can buy comic books.They go to Mike's father to ask him to teach them how to make money.They think he is a businessman , he is supposed to know how to make money.
The story goes with Rich Dad's teachings.

Both fathers give them different advice.
The real father,POOR DAD, says ''get a good degree ,so you can get a secure and well paid job''.
Mike's father,RICH DAD, says ''you must get a degree,meantime you should learn how to manage money''.They do not teach how to manage money in the school.If you want to be rich , you have to know how to manage money.Otherwise you work for government ,companies etc.You'll always be in debt.You should how to make money work for you.

If you want to be rich , you need to be financially literate..
