"You mean most workers don't get paid everything?" I asked with amazement."Heavens no!" said rich dad. "The government always takes its share first.""How do they do that." I asked."Taxes," said rich dad. "You're taxed when you earn. You're taxed when you spend. You're taxed when you save. You're taxed when you die.""Why do people let the government do that to them?""The rich don't," said rich dad with a smile. "The poor and the middle class do. I'll bet you that I earn more than your dad, yet he pays more in taxes.""How can that be?" I asked. As a 9-year-old boy, that made no sense to me. "Why would someone let the government do that to them?"Rich dad sat there in silence. I guess he wanted me to listen instead of jabber away at the mouth.Finally, I calmed down. I did not like what I had heard. I knew my dad complained constantly about paying so much in taxes, but really did nothing about it. Was that life pushing him around?Rich dad rocked slowly and silently in his chair, just looking at me."Ready to learn?" he asked."So is there an answer?" asked Mike.

pet clothing, That's the first step.""Why is that step so important" I asked.I nodded my head slowly."As I said, there is a lot to learn. Learning how to have money work for you is a lifetime study. Most people go to college for four years, and their education ends. I already know that my study of money will continue over my lifetime, simply because the more I Find out, the more I find out I need to know. Most people never study the subject. They go to work, get their paycheck, balance their checkbooks, and that's it. On top of that, they wonder why they have money problems. Then, they think that more money will solve the problem. Few realize that it's their lack of financial education that is the problem.""So my dad has tax problems because he doesn't understand money?" I asked, confused."Look," said rich dad. "Taxes are just one small section on learning how to have money work for you. Today, I just wanted to find out if you still have the passion to learn about money. Most people don't. They want to go to school, learn a profession, have fun at their work, and earn lots of money. One day they wake up with big money problems, and then they can't stop working. That's the price of only knowing how to work for money instead of studying how to have money work for you. So do you still have the passion to learn?" asked rich dad.
