〃And　you　dont？〃　I　asked。

〃No；　not　really；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃If　you　want　to　learn　to　work　for　money；　then　stay　in　school。　That　is　a　great　place　to　learn　to　do　that。　But　if　you　want　to　learn　how　to　have　money　work　for　you；　then　I　will　teach　you　that。　But　only　if　you　want　to　learn。〃

〃Wouldnt　everyone　want　to　learn　that〃　I　asked。

〃No；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Simply　because　its　easier　to　learn　to　work　for　money；　especially　if　fear　is　your　primary　emotion　when　the　subject　of　money　is　discussed。〃

〃I　dont　understand；〃　I　said　with　a　frown。

〃Dont　worry　about　that　for　now。　Just　know　that　its　fear　that　keeps　most　people　working　at　a　job。　The　fear　of　not　paying　their　bills。　The　fear　of　being　fired。　The　fear　of　not　having　enough　money。　The　fear　of

starting　over。　Thats　the　price　of　studying　to　learn　a　profession　or　trade；　and　then　working　for　money。　Most　people　bee　a　slave　to　money。。。　and　then　get　angry　at　their　boss。〃

〃Learning　to　have　money　work　for　you　is　a　pletely　different　course　of　study？〃　I　asked。

〃Absolutely；〃　rich　dad　answered；　〃absolutely。〃

We　sat　in　silence　on　that　beautiful　Hawaiian　Saturday　morning。　My　friends　would　have　just　been　starting　their　Little　League　baseball　game。　But　far　some　reason；　I　was　now　thankful　I　had　decided　to　work　for　10　cents　an　hour。　I　sensed　that　I　was　about　to　learn　something　my　friends　would　not　learn　in　school。

〃Ready　to　learn？〃　asked　rich　dad。

〃Absolutely；〃　I　said　with　a　grin。

〃I　have　kept　my　promise。　Ive　been　teaching　you　from　afar；〃　my　rich　dad　said。　〃At　9　years　old；　youve　gotten　a　taste　of　what　it　feels　like　to　work　for　money。　Just　multiply　your　last　month　by　fifty　years　and　you　will　have　an　idea　of　what　most　people　spend　their　life　doing。〃

〃I　dont　understand；〃　I　said。

〃How　did　you　feel　waiting　in　line　to　see　me？　Once　to　get　hired　and　once　to　ask　for　more　money？〃

〃Terrible；〃　I　said。

〃If　you　choose　to　work　for　money；　that　is　what　life　is　like　for　many　people；〃　said　rich　dad。

〃And　how　did　you　feel　when　Mrs。　Martin　dropped　three　dimes　in　your　hand　for　three　hours　work？〃

〃I　felt　like　it　wasnt　enough。　It　seemed　like　nothing。　I　was　disappointed；〃　I　said。

〃And　that　is　how　most　employees　feel　when　they　look　at　their　paychecks。　Especially　after　all　the　tax　and　other　deductions　are　taken　out。　At　least　you　got　100　percent。〃

〃You　mean　most　workers　dont　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。　〃Youre　taxed　when　you　earn。　Youre　taxed　when　you　spend。　Youre　taxed　when　you　save。　Youre　taxed　when　you　die。〃

〃Why　do　people　let　the　government　do　that　to　them？〃

〃The　rich　dont；〃　said　rich　dad　with　a　smile。　〃The　poor　and　the　middle　class　do。　Ill　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　plained　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。

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　thats　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　its　their　lack　of　financial　education　that　is　the　problem。〃

〃So　my　dad　has　tax　problems　because　he　doesnt　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　dont。　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　cant　stop　working。　Thats　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。

I　nodded　my　head。

〃Good；〃　said　rich　dad。　〃Now　get　back　to　work。　This　time；　I
