I just felt the need to express my angst and annoyance over people's slow lane mentality, and that being rich is some how a bad thing, and that only "lucky people can make it."
1) Here is a reviewer talking about one of the Rich Dad books;
"Kiyosaki, when asked by ABC news in a story they were doing on his methods actually said 9 out of 10 people fail. Not sure you want to buy 18 books from, and take the advice of, a guy who tells you to at the beginning you only have a 10% chance of success."
My comment: "Robert is only being realistic.......why would you buy a book that GUARANTEES success? I wouldn't even give it a second glance."
2) If you are poor with no education, it is very hard to raise the initial capital to invest or qualify for the loans needed to invest. A decent income is a great springboard for investing, since you are not living paycheck to paycheck, and can afford to accumulate enough money to make an investment. The poor work for their money so they can use it to survive. The rich work for their money so they can invest. Its not like the rich got that way investing a couple hundred bucks here and there, which is all a "poor" person could really afford to do. They had an income which allowed them to allocate money into investments and take risks, something which is not as easy when you need that money to survive. Poor people can invest, and many do. When I was "poor," I invested money in the stock market regardless of my income. But it isn't easy to go buy a property when you have mouths to feed and you live on minimum wage (thankfully, I didn't). Dividing people into "rich" and "poor" (which I did here, but only to make a point) is silly and simplistic and doesn't conform to reality.
My opinion : IF this reviewer does not think that this world is made up of either Rich, or poor people, he shouldn't have even read the book in the first place. The fact is, the middle class population is shrinking. Thousands of jobs are being taken away every month.
As for the "no money to invest because we have mouth to feeds".... If I even had a 1% chance of being rich by simply saving money (which is VERY possible, but not fast lane), I'd do what MJ started by, and eat friggin' beans and .15c cup o' noodles.
And who said you actually had to "OWN" any property? "Control everything, own nothing".....famous quote, maybe that guy should have read it.
I encourage everyone to add some slow lane mindsets!:banana:
