Active vs Passive Income
There are 2 types of income:
Active Income: You are trading time for money. In order to make money you must perform something. Every day you start from zero.
Passive Income: You do not have to be present to generate income. Things like real estate, stocks, bonds are sources of passive income. You are literally making money while sleeping.

John T. Reed's analysis of Robert T. Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Part 1
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is Fiction
John T. Reed, a real estate investor, looked into the accuracy of Kiyosaki's best-selling book and found it inaccurate:
- The Rich Dad is most likely an invention. ...
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" contains dangerous advice
According to John T. Reed the famous book is filled with bad advice:
Dangerous advice
- "If you're gonna go broke, go broke big"
- Convinces people that college is for suckers
Law-breaking advice
- Advocates committing a felony: have rich friends for trading stock based on non-public inside information, he says "That's what friends are for."
- Recommends tax fraud by deducting vacations and health club dues
- Brags about using a partner weasel clause in which his cat is his partner
Kiyosaki is making money from a personality cult
Many critics pointed out that Kiyosaki is selling a cult, not financial advice.
He is accused of tapping into the fantasies of the masses & being short on specifics, both attributes of religious cults.

12 Personal Finance Tips and Tricks to Make You Rich - Swift Salary
Side Hustle to Make More Money
You don't have to sacrifice all of your free time to start a side hustle, use the time you’re comfortable with and make a little bit of progress every day.
Take Action
Get to working on improving your finances today, not tomorrow. Reading the steps and thinking you’re capable of doing it but postponing it is just an excuse, an unprofitable one.
Communicate With Your Partner
Talking about your financial goals, and scheduling time once a month to go over your finances together can prevent money from affecting your relationship.
