Bonus FAQ #1: What Is the Rich Dad Difference?
FAQ
What makes Rich Dad’s financial education programs different?
Short Answer
We start by making financial education fun, entertaining, and
simple. Then you can decide where you want to go and how far
you want to go.
Explanation
Most financial education programs start with the small picture. Ads you
see on TV, on the web, or in print are often about investing techniques:
techniques such as stock trading, or foreign-exchange currency trading,
or flip this house, or real estate foreclosures or short sales. These are
techniques, how to do something. In my opinion, that’s the small picture.
Techniques are important, but they are more training than education.
Kim and I created the CASHFLOW games—101, 202, and CASHFLOW
for Kids—in board games as well as online versions to make available the
fun, experiential, simple, and big-picture vision of the world of money.
I use the word “fun” because getting rich is fun once you learn the game.
Games make learning fun and, as the Cone of Learning illustrates,
simulation—which is what the CASHFLOW games are—is one of the
best ways to learn something new and retain what you learn.
In Unfair Advantage, I used the example of the game of golf, a frustrating
game when you first start to play. But after taking lessons, practicing,
playing regularly, and challenging yourself in tournaments, it can be fun.
Most avid golfers say, “The game keeps you coming back.”
Although I do not always win in the game of money, it’s the game that
keeps me coming back. It’s fun, challenging, ever-changing, and
profitable. Most importantly, once I began to win, I never needed
to worry about job security or if I would have enough money for
retirement. I earn more money, pay less in taxes, and have the freedom
to do what I want with my time.
