Truth be told..



I don't really talk through the serious stuff on this blog. (You might have noticed that already). But when I see people ripping off a common man's money I simply got to spread the word against evil.

To cut the long story short, I attended one of the so-called free Rich Dad Poor Dad seminars. In the middle of a rain. Costing me a precious 3 hours and giving me a massive headache in the end. Now I wonder this: Why isn't common sense common? Every single person listening to the seminar bought the idea that one could make money by working for as less as 3 hours per week. REALLY?? Wow! Robert Kiyosaki, tell me if that worked for you. Now I leave for the people with common sense (which isn't as common I figured by now) to decide what's the answer to that. Plus, Mr. Kiyosaki and the mafia behind this whole Rich Dad academy, a message from the common man - We are living in a world powered by information sharing. Remember the power called GOOGLE? Yeah, that's right. We just look up for information there and believe in sharing it for free. We believe in making it viral. By free, we truly mean free. And not a free seminar where the speaker reminds you every 5 mins to sign up for the 500$ class that will teach me to become a millionaire. I wonder what Warren Buffett has to say about the 3 hour work week path to becoming a millionaire.

Well, Kiyosaki makes his money by selling his books and classes :-D. If he is really as wealthy as he claims to be, he wont be there giving those classes. That said, I think his book , Rich Dad Poord Dad, is an ok read if you buy it for $3 in an old book shop. He atleast wrote a book prior to the rip off, but what to make out of the acai berry folks!

Yeah, I agree to that. But the point being once you get the credibility (the book is read like a bible here!) you go ahead and milk money off naive people. But well, it is for the people to decipher the right from the wrong. I just feel he is taking undue advantage of his book to rip off people. And that's not right. But then its business and not personal, I guess.

Btw, Trump and Kiyosaki and all these people make more money running these goddamn classes and lectures for as much as 30$ to 10000$! That is heights of greediness. This must be fetching them way more (easy money) than the real estate.
