Rich Brother Rich Sister by Emi Kiyosaki and Robert Kiyosaki
Two different paths to God, Money and Happiness
I went through a phase of reading many of Kiyosaki's books & audio. I just related to his thoughts about money. I even played Cash Flow with friends and my husband. The object of the game: get out of the rat race. And today's reality is we are out of the rat race!
Dr. R. Buckminster Fuler once said that "It's a good waste of money to just make money." We all need to money to survive. I think it's in how you earn your money and the purpose behind that will give us a glimpse into our future.
I managed a bank in my early 20's then managed the finances for PBS.org in my late 20's. I was fortunate to have a foundation about the importance of managing money. But managing my own, I was learning.
Four years ago I started thinking about going into business for myself. I arrived to Starbucks 1 hour early each morning on the dot before work and read as many pages as I could of Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's Before You Quit Your Job: 10 Real-Life Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know, 
Since my days managing other people's money (OPM), I didn't tell many people what I did in the past for a living. I didn't talk about money to family and friends because I thought the people I did talk to related money with greed, evil, dishonesty, un-bendably rigid with money because of their reactions when I did talk about it. It seemed like a taboo subject along with another topic I was so interested in at the time... spirituality.
It is good there is more thought and talk about money and how fun it is to earn it to give us enough to make our lives better and others' too. There is a lot of power behind that.
This leads me to belive that true wealth is financial and spiritual prosperity. They are more connected than I ever thought.

Emi's debt started piling up after having surgery and not having enough income to pay it back. Robert came to the rescue but with a tall order. He would give her the money, but only if she learn how to make more of it. He would be her guide. I love the lessons we all know but do we really live it.
