Question one

1. Main Idea

What is the central message of Robert Kiyosaki's experience with having two fathers?

What did you have? 

Answer:

Answer: Robert Kiyosaki had two fathers with contrasting views on money, which led him to think critically and choose his own financial path. One father (the "rich dad") believed in financial independence and growing wealth, while the other (the "poor dad") believed in working hard for money but struggled financially.

Highlighted in text:

"I had two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things."

"Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing, and then choosing for myself."

Question two

2. Comparison

How did the financial beliefs of Robert’s rich dad differ from those of his poor dad? Provide two examples from the text.

What did you have? 

Answer

Answer: Two examples of differing financial beliefs are:

The poor dad said, "The love of money is the root of all evil," while the rich dad said, "The lack of money is the root of all evil."

The poor dad wanted him to "study hard so you can find a good company to work for," while the rich dad said, "study hard so you can find a good company to buy."

Question three

3. Critical Thinking

Why did Robert choose to listen to his rich dad instead of his poor dad when it came to learning about money?

What did you have? 

Answer

Answer: Robert chose to listen to his rich dad because he wanted to learn how money works and how to have money work for him, rather than simply working for money. His rich dad encouraged him to think critically and develop a wealthy mindset.

Highlighted in text:

"At the age of 9, I decided to listen to and learn from my rich dad about money. In doing so, I chose not to listen to my poor dad, even though he was the one with all the college degrees."

Question four

4. Inference

Based on the text, why does Robert Kiyosaki believe that schools fail to prepare students for financial success?

What did you have? 

Answer

Answer: Robert believes schools fail to prepare students for financial success because they focus on academic and professional skills but do not teach financial literacy or how to handle money.

Highlighted in text:

"Money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills."

Question five

5. Vocabulary in Context

What does Robert’s rich dad mean by “mental laziness” when it comes to money? Explain in your own words.

What did you have? 

Answer

Answer: "Mental laziness" refers to the habit of not thinking critically about money. When someone says "I can’t afford it," they stop thinking of solutions, while asking "How can I afford it?" forces the brain to come up with creative solutions.

Highlighted in text:

"He believed that automatically saying 'I can't afford it' was a sign of mental laziness."

Question six

6. Text to Self

Robert mentions the phrase “I can’t afford it” as a limiting belief. Have you ever thought or heard something similar? How might changing that belief change someone’s financial future?
