Trying to send something to my Mom which encapsulates this and debunks it.

The podcast "If Book Could Kill" has an episode about it. They are radlibs but considering the subject mattee (an atrocious book) it's not relevant. You can listen to it and summarise their arguments.

it wasn't a bad reading, but if i remember, two things about it:

houses are not assets if you're living in them (bc you have to pay taxes and commodities)

studying doesn't work (my "rich dad" got rich being an analphabet owner of stores)

This is fundamentally the same argument as:

The lottery works (my "rich dad" won it)

You have to think with expected value over large samples with stuff like this. For every analphabet dad that risks by opening a store and succeeds, how many have failed and we don't hear their stories?
