Robert Kiyosaki’s Increase Your Financial IQ
Posted on Jul 01, 2008 under Commentary, Financial Literacy |Over the past weekend I borrowed another one of Robert Kiyosaki’s books from a friend. I believe it’s his latest one now, but I’m not certain about this. At any rate, this one is called Rich Dad’s Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money.
What do I think of the book?
If you’ve read some of his other books in the past, you’ll probably recognize a lot of the information in the book. He talks about the importance of financial intelligence as well as many other topics that he’s gone over before. It isn’t a bad read, but he does mention the fact that Nixon took us off the gold standard back in 1971 too many times. Now, here are the chapters in the book for those of you who may be interested in it:
1. What is Financial Intelligence?
2. The Five Financial IQ’s
3. Financial IQ #1: Making More Money
4. Financial IQ #2: Protecting Your Money
5. Financial IQ #3: Budgeting Your Money
6. Financial IQ #4: Leveraging Your Money
7. Financial IQ #5: Improving Your Financial Information
8. The Integrity of Money
9. Developing Your Financial Genius
10. Developing Your Financial IQ: Some Practical Applications
If you’re just starting out trying to get your finances in order and trying to get ahead, then you’d probably benefit from reading this book. If on the other hand, like I’ve already mentioned, you’ve already read some of his other books, then you’ll most likely find little value added.

All of Robert’s book impart great basic financial information but even more so, his books are designed to change the way you ‘think’ about money. Robert’s initial book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is what send me on the road to creating Money Camp for Kids and Teens and then Camp Millionaire for Kids and Teens and more. It also sparked my first book, The Ultimate Allowance, where I teach parents how to take the money they are spending ON their kids and run it THROUGH them instead.
