Robert's View

Raising Your Financial IQ

There are many definitions of intelligence. One of the more practical
ones I learned from my rich dad is, "Intelligence is the ability to solve
problems." For example, in school, ifyou can solve math problems, you are
considered intelligent. Out ofschool, ifyou can fixa car,you are deemed to
haveautomotive intelligence. When it comes to money. the bigger financial
problems you can solve, the higher your financial intelligence.
Today, our world faces some serious financial problems. Many are
interrelated problems, one causing the other. Some ofthe more pressingones
are:

1. Value ofthe dollar falling
2. National debt increasing
3. Baby boomers starting to retire
4. Oil prices rising
