September Book Review

Unfair Advantage - The Power of Financial Education by Robert Kiyosaki

If you follow my tweets @newydd105 you will know by now I am a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki. I was introduced by a friend to his books in 1999 and have read every book written since. Unfair Advantage has all I have come to expect from Robert and more.

It covers the traditional information such as building assets; defining what is an asset and liability; gives examples of the investments that Robert has completed and how you can do the same. It also has updated information on the different types of investor which was originally covered in 'Cashflow Quadrant' the second book in Robert's Rich Dad, Poor Dad series.

In my own life I have treated the different investor levels as my personal version of a promotion each time I have moved up from one level to the next. The rewards have been greater investor knowledge, more confidence, better lifestyle and increased cashflow and net worth. The expansion of investor levels in 'Unfair Advantage' has given me more challenges to expand my personal growth and financial understanding over the coming years.

Each book contains historical information which helps put into perspective where we stand economically today.  'Unfair Advantage' looks at the current topic of bank bailouts.  It was fascinating reading about the number of bank bailouts that have taken place since 1971.  Each time the bailouts are bigger and bigger but really only became public knowledge following the credit crunch of 2008.  As I write this we are on the verge of yet more bailouts which could eclipse those of 2008.

In my tweets and blogs I have advised of the coming financial storm.  the storm is brewing and it is a storm so great and powerful it will make the Great Depression of the 1930's seem inconsequential. The aftermath of the storm will affect millions of people.  'Unfair Advantage' is your chance to learn how to get some protection against the disaster about to engulf all our lives.
