    Read rich dad poor dad. Nothing but leveraging yourself into oblivion and doing your best to make the most sketchy writeoffs or deductions you can. Heck, the author is allegedly a billion in debt and has filed for bankruptcy at least once. Not exactly a resounding example of his own financial advice.

      The way the book was explained to me, if your dad is a working stiff he’ll just tell you to work hard at whatever high paying job you can get. If your dad is a high finance type of guy, he’ll show you that the real money is in managing money.

      Good concept, and true I guess. The book is useless though!
