Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money by Robert Kiyosake

I have just finish reading this Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money. As I gather through, Robert's placed a lot of emphasize on financial intelligence in order to get out of rat race to understand the mechanism of how money works. He presented 5 principles of Financial Intelligence, that is
How to
i) Increase Your Money?
ii) Protect Your Money?
iii) Budget Your Money?
iv) Leverage Your Money?
v) Improve Your Financial Intelligence.
I found something new, and I think most of us, are taken for granted, that our money is actually now known as currency, after Richard Nixon's new policy of removing money back up by gold reserve. A well structured and easy read to learn about financial in layman term.

Welcome to those who read through the book and share your thoughts.
What had you learn for the books, does it really help you and change the habit and way of managing your financial matters?
