Financial IQ and Freedom
Robert Kiyosaki is smart and he is wise, but he is not the first person to hold his opinions. Back in 1775 (a year before the U.S.A. was officially established), Samuel Adams wrote this:
"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
-- Samuel Adams (letter to James Warren, 4 November 1775)
It is education and integrity -- doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do -- that will keep us free.
It is financial intelligence that will give us the resources to enjoy our freedom.

I agree. No one can say they're truly free without having financial freedom.
Keep up the good work, Mr Kiyosaki:)

How timely and full of wisdom. I will write this one down and meditate on it for some time. It further pushes me to educate myself and my kids so that they remain informed and moral.
