8 Rich Dad Scams

by Robert T Kiyosaki

2015

8 Rich Dad Scams is a short guide that labels common bits of money advice—such as get a safe secure job or save money in the bank—as scams when followed blindly. Kiyosaki explains why he believes each idea keeps people trapped and suggests richer alternatives.

Series background & context

The Rich Dad series is built around one simple story: a boy growing up in Hawaii learns about money from two father figures. His biological father is the “poor dad,” a highly educated government employee who believes in job security. His best friend’s father is the “rich dad,” a business owner who talks more about assets, cash flow, and opportunity than grades or promotions.

The first book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, uses that contrast to introduce ideas like assets versus liabilities, the importance of cash flow, and the value of financial education. Instead of formulas, Robert Kiyosaki leans on short parables and conversations—stories about buying rental houses, starting small businesses, and questioning the advice to simply work hard, save, and hope a pension or retirement account will be enough.

Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant expands the framework by dividing income into four roles: employee, self‑employed, business owner, and investor. Much of the series encourages readers to move from the left side of that diagram (employees and solo professionals) to the right side (owners and investors), where systems and assets work so you don’t have to trade every hour for money.

Books like Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ, and Why the Rich Are Getting Richer dig into investing mindset, tax strategy, and the use of what Kiyosaki calls “good debt” to buy income‑producing assets. Others, such as Rich Dad's Prophecy and Second Chance, zoom out to talk about market cycles, demographic shifts, and why he believes traditional retirement plans leave many people exposed.

The Rich Dad line also includes titles for teenagers, parents, and educators, including Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens, Rich Kid Smart Kid, and Rich Dad's Guide to Raising Your Child's Financial I.Q. These books adapt the same lessons—understanding cash flow, questioning “get a safe job” thinking, and learning to spot assets—into simpler language and real‑world activities families can use together.

Alongside the books, Kiyosaki created the CASHFLOW board games and related materials so readers can practice decisions about income, expenses, and investing without risking real money. Many of the later Rich Dad titles reference those tools and are designed to be used together.

Across the series you’ll find a conversational, sometimes provocative tone, heavy on repetition of core ideas. The books don’t try to be exhaustive investment manuals. Instead, they aim to shift how readers think about work, risk, and money, so that further learning and real‑world action become possible.
