Page 39 - Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: Get Smarter with Your Money

The reason I write, create financial products, and emphasize the
importance of the five financial intelligences is because I believe the U.S.

and the world are in for an economic upheaval as we have never seen.
There have been too many financial problems that have gone unsolved.
Instead of using financial intelligence to solve them, we have thrown funny
money at them. We have used old ideas to solve modern problems. Using

old ideas to solve new problems only creates bigger and newer problems.
This is why I believe the five financial intelligences are important. If you
develop these five financial intelligences, you will have a better chance of
doing well in a rapidly changing world. You will be better able to solve

your own problems and increase your financial intelligence.

Practicing What I Preach

I want to assure you that I only write about what I do, or have done. That is
why much of this book is written in story form, rather than as financial

theory. This does not mean I recommend you do exactly what I do, nor does
it mean what I do will work for you. I simply want to share with you my
experiences, a journey of solving financial problems that continues today. I
share with you what I have learned with the intent that it will assist you in

increasing your own financial IQ #5: improving your financial information.
I also know that I do not have all the answers. I do not know if I could
survive a massive financial disaster. What I do know is that whatever
problems or challenges the future holds, I will look at them as simply

opportunities to get smarter and increase my financial IQ. Rather than
panic, I believe I can adjust and prosper because of my financial
intelligence. I wish the same for you, which is why The Rich Dad Company
and its products and programs were created. It’s not about having the right

financial answers; it’s about having the right financial abilities. As my rich
dad said, “Answers are about the past, and abilities are about the future.”
