    Hi to all,

    Would a kind soul here be willing to loan a copy of the above? I would be happy to pay for postage of course and return same as soon as finished.

    Cheers Peter T

    You could probably buy it for $10 or so including postage. See www.booko.com.au

    If I have a copy, you can have it. Not worth the paper it is written on IMO. I probably have a few of his books. I will check when I get home.

    He's targeting punters in debt and very basic saving.
    Kio sorento has much bigger topics going on

    I thought they were very good; not big on nuts and bolts - which for most of us here who are a little bit more "down the track" so thus seem a bit basic and probably a bit boring - but I read them at the start of my investing life and the inspiration was immense.

    Dare I say; life-changing concepts.

    For those starting out; just thoser two simple differences; 1. between learning about a "doodad" debt versus investment debt, and 2. "pay yourself first" is all that most folks would need.

    For a bankrupt and fraudster, he is doing well. Never made any money from his nonsense. Nice way to put down his own father too, very classy.

    What attracts many people to him often is the shift in mindset he 'teachers' and makes others aware of to have AHA moments. All the mindset stuff he uses is stolen from the real greats, Rohn, Brown, Tracy, Robbins, et al

    And his definition of what is an asset and what is a liability (don't buy liabilities he preaches) - is ludicrous. I truly believe he's an idiot.

    I posted this few months ago:




    Kiyosaki urged Australians to invest in gold or oil, where prices were falling.

    Now I am no expert in commodity prices and how that world works by any means and I could be wrong here (so please correct me if I am), but he was recommending to buy oil and gold in 2014 actually much earlier than that, and not buy real estate. According to these graphs it doesn't look too good today.
