Why Financial Education is not taught in school?

[edgeknife]

... that's what most people are doing right now. But a very basic lesson on financing instilled on schools will be a very big help. Educate young minds, especially high school students who doesn't know the value of money yet.

i second your thought, fingolin. :mrgreen: but we need to learn ourselves and indepently to know what really financial education is. Know how to use the money wisely. :mrgreen:

yeah, you need to see the video before saying anything
i dont know what's the problem, why the video cant be loaded in your computer :mrgreen:

i really was eager to watch the video but couldn't get past the first few seconds of his intro...too bad. and i still cannot download it. i'm now looking for its transcript online.

my point dudes is that i couldn't comment on the point he's making in the video as I haven't watched it. but i also pointed out, if you took notice at all, that "it is my hope that i will see his principles of cooperation and teamwork in this particular venture."

i'm a a kiyosaki fan, i tell you. ya, Rich Dad Poor Dad is a good book. I also have Rich Dad's Guide to Investing. and if we talk about crossing quadrants, I did that and now have that mindset--thanks to kiyosaki. i just don't want to be a fan though, but a critic as well. as an individual, i can still read his works with an analytical mind, can't i? and no surprises with the critiques and all...he's celebity, afterall

Robert Kiyosake is inspiring but its not that easy as it is when he is talking about it. But we have to give credit to the man because he made money out of it.

making money is not bad as most people have a negative impression on that, i admire this man coz he's passion to educate people is there, and of course he needs to make money out of it so he will enlarge his network and bless more people

same as mine, while helping people around me, i'm must earn along the the way, so i could continue what im doing not only local even international

i just feel that there are many people who has a negative impression on this, i dont know why, its bad

hmmm i think it's not bad, bro. it's just that not all people take kiyosaki's words at face value. critics abound and it's a good thing as it provides counterchecking. he is just human afterall and may or may have already committed blunders. this he cannot afford to do in a bigger scale...we're talking about worldwide market. that's the other side of popularity--you get all the attention you need plus the attention you don't want.

I know you are his fan and I don't want to burst your bubble esp that all kiyosaki's making is good influence on you. but we cannot deny that he is a controversial figure. i suggest you open yourself to both sides so you will really become an informed reader. i myself do that and it has given me freedom to believe what i feel is right, rather than just believe because he said it. until now i still reread his books to give me a lift..but on the other hand i also still wonder if Rich Dad really existed or that was a blunder on his part (you know, too much on the creative writing side). so, because i think about such things a lot, i am his fan.

Here's an article about kiyosaki that you might want to read:

the article dated yr 2003 and as of this moment Robert Kiyosaki is co-author of the book "Why we want you to be rich" with Donald Trump http://www.whywewantyoutoberich.com/

Donald Trump will not allow himself to be co-author with Robert Kiyosaki if he is a bogus, just ponder on this

And besides being controversial is part of marketing and promotion
