Thanks for writing back about Rich Dad, Poor Dad reccommendation about using the balance sheet as a reference point to see how one is accomplishing their personal financial goals. You said that you're not quite sure, how this helps.
I'll be glad to respond to an exact concern you have over this. I've been into balance sheets etc., since '87. Have a MBA, and worked in various capacities that report to and from the balance sheet. For me it spoke clearly what most of those who are poor and middle class do with their money keeps them there.
So, fire away, I'll try to illuminate this for you.

Have you finished reading Kiyosaki's book yet? I'm new at this, but am hoping to hear what others feel is the top lessons learned from books like this.
John Sherman
My top lesson learned was using an accounting balance sheet to explain how to measure one's wealth by. Also, its use in comparing how poor and middle class don't get it (asset vs expense) , while rich people do.
I'm on this path of trying to change my beliefs, control emotions and put into action decisions that will get me out of debt into the revenue outside my job. So, just wanted to hear from readers like me what their take or lessons learned from books we share. I'm building my list now of what's in my library..keep checking I'll have a ton in there by week's end.
