This book tells the story of a person (the narrator and author) who has two fathers: his biological father, the poor dad, and the other, the father of his best friend from childhood, Mike; the rich dad, both taught the author how to be successful, but through very different approaches. To the author, it was clear that his father’s approach was more financially meaningful. Throughout the book, the author compares both fathers: their principles, ideas, financial activities, their degree of dynamism and how his true father, the poor and yet combative one, but who is highly educated, fears his rich dad due to his properties and eye for business.The author compares his poor dad with those who run around constantly seeking success, trapped in a vicious circle of needs, but they’ll never be able to satisfy their dreams of wealth due to an obvious lack: financial education. They spend a lot of time in school, studying the problems of the world, but they haven’t learned any useful lessons about money, simply because this lesson is never taught in school.
