r；　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　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
