Rich Man Poor Dad
How can there be something as ironic as a rich man poor dad? Yet, this is far more common in the real world today than ever before.
The commodity we all have less and less of is Personal Disposable Time. This is unfortunate. The Dad works all hours 24/7 and comes home to strangers. He knows these are his children, but he doesn’t know how to interact with them.
Often, the guys and gals at the office know him better and are closer to him than his children. Study upon study have proven this conundrum of the modern life.
Many Dads by culture or by extreme need live by this creed: retire young; retire rich. Often they trade their time for money. The cost? The alienation of their own families. And what a cost – the family more often than not, will leave (divorce and separation rates together can be in excess of 70%) and he’ll need to trade even more hours for time than ever before, essentially to keep his former family in house and home and himself from the streets.
So, yes, a man can get rich financially but really poor as a dad.
My instant suggestion? Perhaps to begin, a Dad in danger of losing his family should take a long hard look at what Robert Kiyosaki has to teach about creating more leasure time by building your wealth by making money work hard for you rather than working hard for your money.
So go get his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It is a very good place to start. After all, you’re only investing your time right?

Rich Dad And Poor Dad Burn The Midnight Oil.
Someone needs to speak up for Dads. So I might as well do so. I’m one. Understand that most of us work damn hard for our families. A rich dad and poor dad often burns the midnight oil. One to build a bigger castle the other to simply make ends meet.
Robert Kiyosaki described in his rich dad poor dad book how he came to describe both his “Dads”. His real Dad was always poor but his “adoptive” Dad taught him to become financially wealthy.
But one thing was certain, like the 2 Dads, we are all striving for the day we can retire in peace and leave poverty far behind. The poor guy works hard for his money and stay ultimately broke and the other learns to make his money and assets work hard for him.
So, kids, girls and boys show a litle more love for your Dads. Just because he gets grumpy sometimes, doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to declare the guy “vicious”. When you do that of course he gets very annoyed.
When was the last time your Dad, rich or poor had a loving touch, a smile, a good morning, a breakfast in bed, got his shoulders or feet rubbed, after he burns the midnight oil for you?
So kids, if you do all that, I’ll make a “rich dad prophesy” and maybe, just maybe, your Dads will become the angels you did not see.
The rich Dad can slowly find his own angels running around for him and the poor Dads can eventually reach the financial stabilty he has been striving to give his angels all these years.
