Editorial Review: Product Description
For years, Robert Kiyosaki has firmly believed that the best investment one can ever make is in taking the time to truly understand how one's finances work. Too many people are much more interested in the quick-hitting scheme, or trying to find a short-cut to real wealth. As Kiyosaki has preached over and over again, one has to truly under the process of how money works before one can start out on trying to escape the daily financial Rat Race.
Now, in this latest book in the popular Rich Dad Poor Dad series, Kiyosaki lays out his 5 key principles of Financial Intelligence for all to understand. In INCREASE YOUR FINANCIAL IQ, Kiyosaki provides real insights on these key steps to wealth:
o How to increase your money -- how to assess what you're really worth now, what your prospects are, and how to start mapping out your financial future.
o How to protect your money -- for better or for worse, taxes are a way of life. Kiyosaki shows you that "it's not what you make....it's what you keep."
o How to budget your money -- everybody wants to live large, but you have to learn how to live within your budget. Kiyosaki shows you how you can.
o How to leverage your money -- as you build your financial IQ, knowing how to put your money to work for you is a crucial step.
o How to improve your financial information -- Kiyosaki shows you how to accelerate your wealth as you learn more and more.

Average Customer Review: 
Summary: Very little meat on this book
Date: 2008-12-06 - 
Comment: I found very little meat in this book. I agree with other reviewers that the valuable information could have been presented in a few pages.
This is the second Kiyosaki book I read. The first Kiyosaki book I read, Real Estate Riches: How to Become Rich Using Your Banker's Money, was much more informative.
Summary: I listen to this all the time!
Date: 2008-12-05 - 
Comment: The Rich Dad Poor Dad is some of the best books out there. I really do listen to him several times a year. I have his books on CD so I love listening to them while working out or on the road. Listening to them from time to time keeps the info fresh in my mind and motivates me to continue my journey of financial freedom.
I have become smarter financialy by listening to his books.
Summary: A lot of the same
Date: 2008-11-26 - 
Comment: I read his first book, then this one the next week. It's a lot of the same concepts written in a different context. If you have read one of his books, I'd suggest getting one from another author.
Summary: The thought process behind successful people
Date: 2008-11-25 -
Comment: I became very excited after reading Increase Your Financial IQ on an eight hour plane trip. We were closing on a 229 unit apartment at the time of the reading. I purchased 22 books, one for each of my investors. Robert explains in an easy-to-read and understandable style the importance of hedging your portfolio in to real estate and the concept of leverage. Two thumbs up. I give this book my highest recommendation.
Summary: Best Kiyosaki Book Yet
Date: 2008-11-12 -
Comment: I have to say, I've listened to quite a few audio books and read a few books by Robert Kiyosaki. I have to say I was very impressed with this one. I really think this one does a really good job at getting you to see things a different way. I especially like how he talks about expanding your means (as he has in the past) but this time he actually goes in and shows you how he would budget for a surplus and you get to actually see exactly what he means. He has more specific examples, rather than just the concepts and ideas by themeseleves.
He explains why and how he's both a capitalist and a socialist, and he clearly explains why you can't simply blame one side of the political spectrum, and gives examples of things that both republican and democratic presidents have done which ends up hurting those who save.
I think that if you were to read one Robert Kiyosaki book, this would be the one, it seems like he really put everything he's ever taught together in a way that really makes a lot of sense. Why savers lose, the increase of the money supply, the need for financial education, why most politicians don't know how to handle money, why most businessmen do the very wrong thing and cut spending on advertising during a reccession, when they should be looking to expand their means, all about your brain and how you learn best, and what to do about it and a whole lot more.
It was also interesting to see him forcast before this book was completely released in March, that we most likely have just reached the edge of the storm, and things could get a lot worse. October clearly may have been a significant part. Kiyosaki has been right on about a lot of things.
Going into debt isn't bad, in fact, it can be very good if you know completely what you are doing. However, as they say "a litle knowledge is dangerous" Don't stop at just this book, but make a plan, simulate the real thing and then start small and take the right managable calculated risks, and you can build wealth and get rich.
I believe that this book will dramatically shorten the learning process, and may save you a lot of valuable time and money that you would have paid through learning from the mistakes that you would otherwize made.
