Kim Kiyosaki's Rich Woman: A Book on Investing for Women provides a lot of insight on
the power of investment as a vehicle to attaining more wealth, and the need for women to take that step towards
investing. Investment was never meant to be just a ‘man’ thing; it's time women took their financial status into their own hands and gained control of their future.
The book mainly focuses on real estate, which is great because real estate is a booming and evolving industry, however, it
would've been even better if Kiyosaki had included other ways of investment. Also, some chapters
covered quite a lot of dialogue between the author and her friends; again, I
would've liked if it had a lot more details on various investment options, but
I can understand the need to include the dialogue (you may understand it too when you read/listen to the book).
Rich Woman motivates women to take
that leap and get some investments opportunites up and running. You don't have to wait for a man to always hold your hand or always
fulfill your financial needs – you can have your own money and make your own
investments. That's not to say you should go behind your partner and make investments
without their knowledge – in fact, she emphasizes on having a supporting spouse and investing as a couple.
But even if your spouse is't as supportive, you still shouldn't give up on that
dream.
It's hard to believe it was published in 2006; the information provided is still quite valuable in today's world.
I encourage you to read it; it’s for any woman who loves
money and desires to have more. I do – don't you? :P
