The intention of the book I feel, is to deliver a message about the lack of financial literacy and how important it is, in a simple and interesting way that a general population can relate or understand it.

Anytime someone who is perceived as rich makes more money, friends say the rich get richer or it takes money to make money. That's fine, let them think that. I started an ebiz with $200 last year (could have done it for $37) and it made back its money in the first 3 weeks. With the knowledge I've learned I know that you can get almost passive income with zero dollars out of pocket. In fact, that's what I work on now.

Once you get the ball rolling, it builds on itself. If you're really dedicated to developing a stream of passive income, you can make it happen. First look at all the extra things that you spend money, which you could save that money and use it to establish a stream of passive income. Then look at any hobbies or interests that you might have, which you could use to create a home-business... I believe the opportunity is there for most anyone. Even if you are living paycheck to paycheck, you probably spend some cash at the movies, bar, or other places that are unnecessary. It will seem like a huge sacrifice at the time, but how long will you really remember your night out on the town? Do something smart with that money, and you'll have a lot more fun in the future. -Chris John -

The reality is you have to have money to make money. When you are living paycheck to paycheck, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" doesn't do you much good.
