"Rich Dad Poor Dad"
《富爸爸•穷爸爸》
Robert Kiyosaki shares the two influences on his life growing up, one financially unsuccessful and the other fiscally responsible. One of the core themes he came to learn and advocate was that "the poor and middle class work for money" while "the rich have money work for them." Throughout the book, Kiyosaki seeks to teach a level of financial literacy often ignored in formal education.
罗伯特•清崎分享了对他成长影响很大的两件事情:一是经济上的失败,二是财政上的尽责。他慢慢学习到并且开始倡导的一个核心观点是,“穷人和中产阶级为钱工作”,但“富人让钱为他们工作。”纵观全书,清崎试图传授给大家一定的理财素养,这是在正规教育中经常被忽视的。

"The Millionaire Next Door"
《邻家的百万富翁》
Doctors Stanley and Danko spent 20 years interviewing members of the elite club whose net worth exceeded $1 million. Their findings resulted in seven conclusive rules, ranging from living below your means to choosing your occupation wisely. This book won't teach you investment tips to hit it big, but rather how to lead a lifestyle that creates wealth.

"Think and Grow Rich"
《思考致富》
Originally published in 1937, Napoleon Hill's book is old, but not outdated. The messages in it are not exclusively financial, because Hill does not limit wealth to the confines of monetary worth. With stories from the top businessmen of the time, Hill finds that success is derived as much from personal satisfaction as it is from financial flair.
拿破仑•希尔的这本书最早出版于1937年,虽然古旧,却不过时。书中传授的信息不完全与金融相关,因为希尔并没有把财富限制在货币价值的范围内。但希尔从当时顶尖商人的故事中发现,成功不仅来源于个人满意度,还得自于金融敏锐力。
