Shortly after his mother's death, Thomas is surprised to learn that Rudolph has taken some money Thomas has given him to replace his college fund and has invested it. There is now more than enough capital for Thomas to buy his boat. He also gives poor advice in finances and investing. For example, not adhering to diversification.

The series became a huge success in the countries that aired it.It is because of Boylan that Thomas embarks on a savage act of vandalism (with his friend Claude, who eventually turns him in).

I asked for an Identity Card.Kiyosaki presents the six lessons that his rich dad taught him, and then expands on them. He provides examples and applications. Much of what he says caused me to change my normal perspective as I considered a different way of thinking. Similarly, as I read, I could see phrases that I and others have used that mark us as “poor.” In fact, over the Thanksgiving holiday, my dad unknowingly repeated about six or seven things that Kiyosaki’s “poor dad” had said!
