The cashflow quadrant
Robert T. Kiyosaki
In 'Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant,' Robert T. Kiyosaki explains the four types of people when it comes to money: Employees (E), Self-employed (S), Business owners (B), and Investors (I). The book emphasizes that financial freedom is more likely achieved by moving from the left side of the quadrant (E and S) to the right side (B and I), where money works for you rather than the other way around. Kiyosaki argues that traditional education often fails to teach financial literacy, leading many to work hard for money instead of making money work for them. The book provides insights into the skills and mindsets required to succeed in the B and I quadrants, which are key to achieving true financial freedom.

What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money - That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not
C.P.A. Sharon L. Lechter
Robert Kiyosaki
The book tells the story of Robert Kiyosaki's two fathers: his 'poor dad,' a highly educated but fiscally poor man, and his 'rich dad,' the father of his best friend who was a successful entrepreneur. It emphasizes the importance of financial education, distinguishing between assets and liabilities, and building wealth through investing in assets such as real estate and businesses. Kiyosaki argues that a good education and a secure job are not guarantees for financial success and provides practical lessons on how to make money work for you rather than working for money[1][3][5].
