Woman looks for money

I´ve recently read ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki, and it has changed my life. This book is a world bestseller, over 17 mln copies sold, written in 1997. However, I came across ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ before, when one of my university colleagues, now very successful young woman, brought the book to some not so exciting math class in order not to die of bore. I thumbed it, liked it but for some reasons didn’t buy it then. Why? I was too busy with things that now have less importance. I still can’t help regretting some things I did when I was younger – and some thing I didn’t.
Nonetheless, the book has fallen into my eyes again, as my beloved husband, an upcoming but very promising young investor, has bought this book in order to learn new tricks. As he has been totally captured by the power book, I couldn’t resist opening it for the second time. And it got me. Suerte que ahora sé leer en español. Luckily, now I can read in Spanish.
It made me overestimate everything I do in my life. Where do I go? What do I want to achieve? The book hasn’t driven me so far forth to know the meaning of my life and fall in Jaga, but it helps change the focus. Earlier at my Catalan class the teacher was astonished when I couldn’t respond the question what I wanted to be in life. Perhaps, she thinks one must have already made a firm choice by the age of 24. This point made was bringing me down till I read ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’. Now I still have no clue of what job I am actually made for, but whatever it is, I want to be rich.
I want to be rich not to worry about how long will my perfect-job-search take me and what will I live upon while looking for my destination. I want to be rich to have better possibilities and to be able to take independent decisions. I want to be rich to travel all over the world and get to know how people live. I want to be rich, and I have three million reasons for it.
Kiyosaki’s book is not a Holy Bible in this sense, but it helps make the first step towards one’s better life. It brings belief in yourself – something the majority of people lacks. I lacked as well. Now I think, if less gifted ones have managed it and got there, why I can’t? Oh yes, I can.
Girls (!) I know intuitively have come around this knowledge and started to make their first savings. Now two friend of mine are starting their own business and another one is about to take an important financial decision impossible without a solid primary input. Solidness of an investment is a relative term, so I talk about 20-something ones in general.
As for me, I also started making savings, but I think I must somehow hasten the accumulation process, so I need to invest. Robert teaches that I should invest. Before I didn’t ever think I was able to.
Now when I have managed to combat my fears, I do know that yes I am perfectly good for doing it. The only thing I repent is that I haven’t done it before.
