                                              Both Men Are Teachers

                                                  Both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are successful
                                              entrepreneurs and investors. Both men do business and are
                                              recognized internationally. Both men are also teachers. Both men
                                              are best-selling authors, produce educational board games, speak
                                              at financial education events, and both have educational
                                              television programs. Donald Trump has his megahit network
                                              television show, The Apprentice and Robert Kiyosaki has his
                                              television show, Rich Dad's Guide to Wealth, on PBS, the highly
                                              acclaimed educational public television network.
                                                 Both men are teachers, not because they need more money.
                                              They are both teachers because they are concerned about the fate
                                              of you and your family, this nation and the world.
                                                 Rich people who want to make a difference typically give
                                              money to causes they believe in. But Donald and Robert are giving
                                              of both their time as well as their money. As the story goes, you
                                              can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or teach him to fish
                                              and feed him for a lifetime. Instead of just writing checks to help
                                              the poor and middle class, Donald and Robert are teaching them
                                              to fish. In addition, a portion of every book sale will be donated
                                              to other organizations that also teach financial literacy.

                                                 There are three levels of financial advice: advice for the poor,
                                              advice for the middle class and advice for the rich. The financial
                                              advice for the poor is that the government will take care of them.
                                              The poor are counting on Social Security and Medicare. The
                                              financial advice for the middle class is: get a job, work hard, live
