It contains many factual errors and numerous extremely unlikely accounts of events that supposedly occurred”.

State reviewer Rob Walker called the book full of nonsense, and stated that kiyosaki’s claims were really vague, noting the predictable features of such books that were written in Rich Dad Poor Dad.

There is really a big difference between broke and being poor. The broke is temporary but the poor is eternal. If you’ve the knowledge of how to best use the finance or the money you’ve i.e. if you’ve the knowledge to take the best financial decisions than you’ll be able to build the money or wealth you have and can gain power. Money may come and go but the knowledge stays and keeps the capability to change anything.

On the other side liability takes out the money from your pocket. The intelligence and the knowledge solves the problem and produces wealth. ”Illiteracy, both in words and numbers is the foundation of financial struggle”. Cash flows tells the criteria of how people mange their finances. Most of the public struggles from financial basis  because they don’t understand the process of cash flow system.
