Eager to discover the solutions?
Let’s dive into the contrasting approaches of the "poor dad" and the "rich dad."
The poor dad attempted to tackle his financial challenges by going back to school. As we know, he was academically successful, achieved higher degrees, and became a PhD. Despite being highly educated and hardworking, he tried to solve his money problems through academic and career achievements, while neglecting the underlying financial issues. This was his downfall.
But how did the rich dad handle things?
The rich dad took a completely different route. Rather than sidestepping financial challenges, he faced them directly by building businesses and making active investments. He wasn’t just after money—he aimed to sharpen his mind and enhance his financial intelligence. He would often say, "Money is my score. My financial statement is my scorecard. My financial status reflects how smart I am and how well I’m playing the game."
So, what exactly is the game?
Robert explains that in the following chapters, you’ll uncover five key financial intelligences that will boost your financial IQ and help you achieve financial integrity. By mastering these, you’ll be better equipped than 95% of people to solve money problems. Robert spent most of his life developing these five financial intelligences, and his journey of financial education is ongoing.
Of course, every game has rules, right?

- Are you enthusiastic about gaining knowledge?
- Are you ready to reach your fullest potential?
- Do you aspire to achieve maximum wealth?
