Babe… have u read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad?
No…?
Lol… it was “trending” when I was at uni…
Which uni?
Early 2000s uni days…
Oh…? What’s it about?
Hmmm… imma let AI explain:
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” contrasts two mindsets about money—one focused on job security, the other on financial freedom—and teaches readers how to build wealth through financial literacy, investing, and entrepreneurship.

🧠 Key Lessons from Rich Dad
1. The Rich Don’t Work for Money
Wealthy people make money work for them through investments and passive income.
2. Financial Education > Formal Education
Schools teach academic skills, not financial literacy. Understanding money is essential for independence.
3. Mind Your Own Business
Focus on building assets—like real estate, stocks, or intellectual property—even while working a regular job.
4. Assets vs. Liabilities
Assets put money in your pocket (e.g., rental income); liabilities take money out (e.g., mortgages, car loans).
5. The Power of Corporations
Rich people use corporate structures to reduce taxes and protect wealth.
6. Work to Learn, Not to Earn
Choose jobs that teach valuable skills—sales, marketing, investing—rather than just offering a paycheck.

💡 Mindset Shifts Encouraged
– Take calculated risks: Fear and cynicism are barriers to wealth.
– Start small, but start now: Action beats information paralysis.
– Create passive income: Build streams that earn even when you’re not actively working.
– Challenge conventional wisdom: For example, your house may not be an asset if it drains your finances.
