Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ
by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Five financial intelligences: making more money, protecting it, budgeting it, leveraging it and improving your information. The framing is useful, the protect-and-leverage chapters are provocative, and as usual the specifics are thin and the opinions on the dollar are loud.
Read it if…
you like the Rich Dad lens and want it applied to financial education specifically.
Skip it if…
you want a textbook; this is opinion in five buckets.
Three things you will actually use
- Financial IQ is five skills, not one.
- Protecting money is a skill most people never learn.
- Leverage amplifies both intelligence and ignorance.
Do this first
Rate yourself one to ten on each of the five intelligences and note the lowest.
Our verdict
Five buckets, thin specifics.
